Nielsen Notes
Two weeks in, NBC looks a lot smarter
New season lineup ties for No. 1 in 18-49 viewers

By Toni Fitzgerald MediaLifeMagazine.com staff writer Oct 11, 2007


When NBC announced its schedule at last May’s upfront presentation, media people were underwhelmed.


They doubted whether the schedule’s large number of new sci fi and young-skewing dramas held enough broad appeal, and they wondered why no changes had been made to the network’s long-sinking Thursday night.


But two weeks into the season, it’s looking like NBC’s new schedule was actually pretty smart. The network has tied ABC for first place among adults 18-49 two weeks running and has shown particular strength among adults 18-34.

And where will NBC be once SNF ends? The same place it was last year. No wonder ABC dumped MNF.

They do, of course, but I was really referring to the O&Os.


And the side channels are an NBCU priority.

So how did "Gossip Girl", "Private Practice" and "Pushing Daisies" do last night with Nielsen families?


Wednesday's fast affiliate over night prime-time ratings - along with Media Week Analyst Marc Berman's view of what they mean -- have been posted at the top of Ratings News -- the second post in this thread.

I agree, to label Dexter's 2nd episode rating as anything but a huge success is stupid. It's still doing way better than season one did and I am sure Showtime execs are thrilled with that number. Does any other Showtime show do close to 900K now?

Overnight Nielsens in the 18-49 Demo
ABC firms up its hold on Wednesdays
Easy win with a 3.9 in 18-49s, its third straight

By Toni Fitzgerald MediaLifeMagazine.com staff writer Thursday, October 11, 2007


Even with two of its new shows seeing week-to-week declines, ABC seems to have a firm hold on Wednesday night.


The network won its third straight Wednesday last night with a 3.9 adults 18-49 rating and 11 share, according to Nielsen overnights, 18 percent ahead of second-place CBS’s 3.3/9.


It stayed ahead despite a 14 percent week-to-week decline for the 8 p.m. drama “Pushing Daisies,” which slipped from a 4.2 in its premiere to a 3.6 last night. “Daisies” still won the timeslot and it did not lose any 18-49 audience from its first half hour to its second.


Whether those debut-week viewers were tuning out or simply time-shifting the show won’t be known for several weeks.


Media people have cautioned that until the DVR ratings are out, it’s impossible to get a full picture of how a show performed because Nielsen’s DVR household sample has more than doubled since this time last year.


ABC’s 10 p.m. show “Dirty Sexy Money” also slipped a tad in its third outing after staying even from its first to its second week. It fell from a 3.6 to a 3.4, taking second in the timeslot to CBS’s “CSI: NY,” though it was a solid first in 18-34s and rose 13 percent from last week.


The best news for ABC came at 9 p.m., where its “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff, “Private Practice,” bounced up 7 percent over last week’s 4.5 in 18-49s to a 4.8. That came after a 12 percent slide from its opener in week two.


“Bionic Woman” on NBC slipped again in the same hour, down 5 percent from last week’s 4.0 to a 3.8. It tied for second place behind “Practice” in the timeslot with CBS’s “Criminal Minds.”


Fox’s “Back to You” dipped for the third straight week at 8 p.m., from a 2.4 last week to a series-low 2.2. Meanwhile, second-year lead-out “’Til Death” managed to build on its lead-in for a second straight week, to a 2.4.


And CBS’s “Kid Nation,” the controversial new reality show, also hit a series low, dipping 17 percent from last week from a 2.4 to a 2.0.


For the night, NBC placed third behind ABC and CBS at 3.2/9, followed by Fox fourth at 2.6/7, the CW fifth at 1.9/5 and Univision sixth at 1.4/4. NBC was the only Big Four network to rise over the same night last year, though every network has overhauled their lineup.


ABC started the night in the lead with a 3.6 at 8 p.m. for “Daisies,” followed by NBC with a 3.1 for “Deal or No Deal,” the network's best rating in the slot in 10 months. CW was third with a 2.5 for “America’s Next Top Model,” Fox fourth with a 2.3 average for “You” (2.2) and “Death” (2.4), CBS fifth with a 2.0 for “Nation” and Univision sixth with a 1.0 for “Amar sin Limites.”


At 9 p.m. ABC led again with a 4.8 for “Practice,” while NBC and CBS tied for second at 3.8, NBC for “Bionic” and CBS for “Minds.” Fox was fourth with a 3.0 for “Kitchen Nightmares,” Univision fifth with a 2.0 for “Destilando Amor” and CW sixth with a 1.3 for “Gossip Girl.”


CBS took the lead at 10 p.m. with a 4.0 for “CSI: NY,” with ABC slipping to second with a 3.4 for “Money.” NBC was third with a 2.8 for “Life” and Univision fourth with a 1.4 for “Don Francisco Presenta.”


Among households, CBS was first for the night with a 7.4 average overnight rating and a 12 share. ABC was second at 7.0/11, NBC third at 6.5/11, Fox fourth at 4.1/7, CW fifth at 2.7/4 and Univision sixth at 1.9/3.

I am sure Toni Fitzgerald (along with other writers who have mentioned the "slippage" for Dexter), just weren't aware of the free Showtime weekend.


To be fair, we all have a handful of favorites we keep track of, some of these writers have to try to keep their eyes on hundreds of shows. So an occasional slip up is understandable.

Overnight Nielsen Notes
ABC's 'Private Practice' on the rise
Outlook on 'Daisies' still rosy

By Rick Kissell Variety October 11, 2007


ABC captured the third Wednesday of the season among young adults thanks to a rising "Private Practice," a declining but still-promising "Pushing Daisies" and another fairly good showing by "Dirty Sexy Money." The three new shows kept the net on top in all key demos while CBS led Wednesday in total viewers behind "Criminal Minds," the night's most-watched program overall.


According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, ABC's "Private Practice" (4.8 rating/12 share in adults 18-49, 12.2 million viewers overall) was up week to week and won its hour by 2 shares in 18-49 over CBS' "Criminal Minds" (3.8/10 in 18-49, 14.5 million viewers overall) and NBC's "Bionic Woman" (3.8/10 in 18-49, 10.1 million viewers overall), with the latter easing a bit more after a rather steep falloff following its premiere episode. Also in the hour, Fox's "Kitchen Nightmares" (3.0/8 in 18-49, 6.5 million viewers overall) was up for a second straight week, and CW's "Gossip Girl" (1.3/3 in 18-49, 2.9 million viewers overall) was roughly flat.


Opening the night, the second episode of ABC's "Pushing Daisies" (3.6/11 in 18-49, 10.1 million viewers overall) was down about 15% from its strong premiere, winning in all key ratings categories; it held up best among younger viewers, retaining 94% of its premiere-week 18-34 audience. NBC's "Deal or No Deal" moved up to second (3.1/9 in 18-49, 12.5 million viewers overall) with the net's best delivery in the time period since last December. CW's "America's Next Top Model" also shined (2.5/7 in 18-49, 5.3 million viewers overall), placing second in 18-34 and rising 12% week to week.


Not looking so hot in the hour is CBS' "Kid Nation" (2.0/6 in 18-49, 7.0 million viewers overall), which has seen consistent declines since its Sept. 19 premiere and finished fifth in its time period among young adults. Fox's "Back to You" is also struggling, hitting another low at 8 o'clock (2.2/7 in 18-49, 6.5 million viewers overall).


At 10 o'clock, CBS' "CSI: NY" (4.0/11 in 18-49, 13.3 million viewers overall) edged up week to week and opened up a wider gap on its rookie drama competish, as both ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money" (3.4/9 in 18-49, 8.9 million viewers overall) and NBC's "Life" (2.8/8 in 18-49, 8.1 million viewers overall) were down a bit vs. their second episodes.


Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: ABC, 3.9/11; CBS, 3.3/9; NBC, 3.2/9; Fox, 2.6/7; CW, 1.9/5; Univision, 1.4/4.


In total viewers: CBS, 11.6 million; ABC, 10.4 million; NBC, 10.2 million; Fox, 6.5 million; CW, 4.1 million; Univision, 3.5 million.

TV Notes
ABC's Grey's Most Viewed on TiVo for Premiere Week

By John Consoli MediaWeek October 11, 2007


ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy was the most watched TV show in time-shifted mode by TiVo users during broadcast network premiere week (Sept. 24-30), followed by CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, ABC’s Desperate Housewives, CBS’s Survivor: China, and NBC sitcom, The Office.


The data was generated using TiVo’s Stop//Watch service, which tracks TiVo users’ viewing behavior on a second-by-second basis for both live and time-shifted viewing.


The show watched by the most TiVo users in live mode was NBC’s Sept. 30 Sunday Night Football telecast, which edged out Grey’s and Desperate Housewives. Rounding out the Top 5 shows watched live by TiVo users were ABC’s Sept. 24 telecast of Dancing with the Stars and CSI.


According to TiVo vp and general manager Todd Juenger, with the exception of sports programming, nearly two-thirds of all TiVo viewing during premiere week was done on a time-shifted basis.


“The high level of time-shifted viewing highlights not only the importance of not simply measuring a program’s success based on overnight ratings,” Juenger said. “Instead, it’s critical to also factor in time-shifted viewing, considering it represented two-thirds of the audience for most of these programs.”


Grey’s was watched by 19.8 percent of TiVo viewers in time-shifted mode and 7.39 percent in live mode. CSI was watched by 13.5 percent of TiVo viewers in time-shifted mode and by 6.36 percent in live model. Desperate Housewives was watched by 12.4 percent of TiVo viewers in time-shifted mode and by 7.2 percent live. Survivor was watched by 10.3 percent of TiVo viewers in delayed mode and by 5.1 percent live, and The Office was watched by 10.1 percent of TiVo viewers time-shifted and by 4 percent live.


Other shows watched by TiVo users more heavily in time-shifted mode, beyond the Top 5, were NBC’s Heroes (9.9 percent of TiVo users), Fox’s House (9 percent of TiVo users), NBC’s ER and Las Vegas (7.0 percent of TiVo users), CBS’ CSI: Miami and Two and a Half Men (6.6 percent of TiVo users), and ABC’s Brothers & Sisters (6.5 percent of TiVo users.)


TiVo’s Stop//Watch ratings service data is derived from a daily, aggregate, anonymous stratified random sample of 20,000 TiVo users, from which the second-by-second “clickstream” of behavior and viewership is collected and assessed.

If I recall correctly, it appears that "Gossip Girl" gained some in total numbers from last week to this week. What I can't understand is how 'GG' is only retaining 54% of "America's Next Top Model's" audience. That doesn't look good.

Looks like all the talk about a hidden "DVR" audience that can lift struggling shows like "Bionic Woman" or "Dirty Sexy Money" with a boost in viewers isn't happening. Except for a handful of exceptions (like "ER" and "Las Vegas") all the top TiVo'ed shows listed above are already ratings winners. Essentially when Live +3 or Live +7 numbers are factored in the rich will get richer while the poor (anything on The CW for example) will continue to eat off the viewership crumbs left over by the usual suspects. The more things change the more they stay the same, technology notwithstanding.

From Marc Berman's blog here's the half-hour breakdown from Wednesday's CW schedule:


America's Top Model:

8:00 p.m. V: 4.83 million, A18-49: 2.2/ 7

8:30 p.m. V: 5.75 million, A18-49: 2.7/ 8


Gossip Girl:

9:00 p.m. V: 3.12 million, A18-49: 1.4/ 4

9:30 p.m. V: 2.62 million, A18-49: 1.2/ 3


Look at (a) the drop in viewership from "Top Model's" last half-hour to "Gossip Girl's" first, and then (b) the drop from "GG's" 1st half-hour to the last. Now that CW has renewed "GG" it better find a new night/time slot to air it because it's clear that as a lead-out from "Top Model" this show is bleeding a lot of valuable viewers away from the network.

Even more disturbing is "Gossip Girl" (I refuse to use "GG" out of respect for Gilmore Girls") losing one out of every six viewers from its first half hour to its second.

TV Notes
Hollywood writers in contract showdown

By Anthony Breznican and Bill Keveney USA TODAY


You couldn't script this showdown.


Hollywood writers are facing off against networks and studios in a test of wills that could play havoc with the TV season and disrupt the flow of movies to local theaters.


Tensions are high as the TV and film writers union contract nears its end on Oct. 31. The last writers strike, in 1988, lasted six months.


Audiences would see the effects of a lengthy strike on television first because of tighter production timetables. Even then, they probably wouldn't notice the absence of prime-time favorites before early 2008.


A work stoppage would first hit "programs that are done nightly like The Daily Show and The Tonight Show and Letterman," says Patric Verrone, president of Writers Guild of America, West. "Then the comedies and dramas that have some lead time, but not much, would go into reruns and eventually be all reruns — or a test pattern."


A divisive issue in the talks is digital media — downloads of TV shows and movies — and whether creative workers will get a portion of this evolving moneymaker.


Actors and directors guilds are facing the end of their own contracts this summer, which could result in walkout on top of walkout.


Producers have taken action to blunt a potential strike, including hurrying more films into production and starting filming earlier on midseason TV series.


"Our members have been preparing for months for the possibility of a strike. Screens will not be going to black," says Barbara Brogliatti, a spokeswoman for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the studios and networks.


A look at some of the dynamics:

•Television. A strike could result in fewer new episodes this season, and a longer walkout could hamper the selection and production of new shows for 2008-09, since scripts for new pilots are submitted this fall.


If there is a strike, expect new reality shows, which aren't subject to the writers' deal and can be made faster and less expensively. Episodes of other unscripted shows, such as American Idol and Dancing With the Stars, could be expanded. Schedule holes also could be filled by sporting events and game shows.


Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse say there's a wide gap between the studios and networks and the writers regarding what constitutes a reasonable deal.


"I remain hopeful there won't be a strike, but things will have to change demonstrably in the next few weeks," says Cuse, who is on the writers guild negotiating committee.

•Movies. The average moviegoer would see a thinner slate of new movies, and the quality would suffer, says Marc Norman, who won an Oscar for co-writing Shakespeare in Love and also is on the writers guild negotiating committee.


If there is a strike, he says, "there will be, in a year, a spate of hastily thrown together movies. They will suffer from having gone ahead with incomplete scripts that haven't gone through the level of care they normally would.


"They will be less than exciting movies — boring movies."


How likely is a strike?


No one is certain, but the union has felt burned by deals of the past, and it says it is ready to fight harder this time over downloading.


Norman, author of a new book about the turbulent history of Hollywood writers, What Happens Next?, says: "Writers have never gotten anything out of the system by asking for it. They always had to pound their fist on the table and demand it."

That's a little more revealing. If it comes back next year they may try to find a new night for it. Are ANTM's viewer's that much different than "Gossip Girl" viewers?

CBS Makes HD Push for Election Coverage
New HD Control Room to Be Ready for Democratic, Republican National Conventions

By Glen Dickson Broadcasting & Cable, 10/11/2007


New York -- CBS News is readying its technical plant in order to broadcast both political conventions in summer 2008 in high-definition, and it should be broadcasting CBS Evening News with Katie Couric in HD by then, too, director of bureau operations Mel Olinsky said at the SATCON/HD World show here Thursday morning.


Speaking in a panel discussion of how major networks were gearing up for their coverage of the 2008 election, Olinsky said CBS News should have a new HD control room ready for the Democratic National Convention, to be held in Denver next August, and the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis in September.


That is a major step for CBS, he added, as its previous live HD news has consisted of a State of the Union address.


Speaking privately, Olinsky said Evening News should be broadcasting in HD by then, too, although he gave no hard date for a launch. He added that CBS’ internal goal is to have the new HD control room ready by May. The cameras and set for Evening News have been HD-ready for some time, but the control room at the CBS Broadcast Center on 57th Street -- which is also undergoing an overhaul of its entire master-control operation as part of the multiyear project -- has been the stumbling block.


CBS has also been experimenting with using MPEG-4 compression to efficiently backhaul HD feeds, and it found a Fujitsu MPEG-4 encoder that interfaces well with its existing MPEG-2 connections, Olinsky said.


He and other distribution executives from ABC and fiber operator Level 3 Communications said transmission capacity will be strained to its limits through 2008, between the networks’ political coverage and NBC’s 17-day long broadcast of the Summer Olympic Games from Beijing. A particular challenge is the close timing of the Iowa (caucus) and New Hampshire (primary) and the Democratic and Republican conventions, which run back-to-back.


“It’s going to be a little bit of a challenge to find that much bandwidth,” said Chris Myers, director of operations for ABC News Services, adding that he was already working with Intelsat, ABC’s primary satellite provider, and other carriers to ensure enough transmission paths for ABC, which will also be covering the conventions in HD.


“You have to plan it out very well,” he added.

MSNBC to Move to New York City Studio
Network to Start Broadcasting at NBC News Headquarters at Rockefeller Plaza

By Linda Moss Multichannel News 10/11/2007


MSNBC will start broadcasting from NBC News’ new world headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza Oct. 22, officials said Thursday.


MSNBC is moving over to the facility, which has been under construction six months, from Secaucus, N.J., where the cable channel had been based since its launch in July 1996.


NBC News is combining its Manhattan-based operations and MSNBC under one roof in the new headquarters, and making it ready to begin broadcasting from the newly renovated Studios 3A and 3C. As part of the consolidation, NBC News said that “more than 200 miles of cable [have been] pulled, 280 high definition monitors and six high definition projectors installed.”


Studio 3A will debut the morning of Oct. 22 when MSNBC’s Morning Joe will open its broadcast at 6:00 a.m. MSNBC will continue to broadcast from Studio 3A throughout the day, including Countdown with Keith Olbermann in primetime. At 6:30 p.m., Brian Williams will unveil the renovated Studio 3C on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. More than 12.5 hours of live television across NBC News and MSNBC will originate from the two studios daily.


The new facility, with 8,500 square feet of studio space, will serve as a conduit of information, video and graphics for all of NBC News.


In addition to the 280 HDTV monitors and six HDTV projectors, MSNBC’s main anchor platform is motorized on a 50-foot-long track to move throughout the studio; a platform in the center of 3A can be raised up to 52 feet for effects and events; and one wall houses 36 monitors and can be used in a variety of ways for production purposes.


Studio 3A also includes a 31-foot-long catwalk above the main anchor platform for additional options for stand-ups, and offers 61 seats for the newsgathering staffs of the NBC News Desks, NBC News Channel, NBC Satellite Operations and the MSNBC.com East Coast Cover Team.


In addition to the studios, the newsroom will house the editorial and production staffs for nearly all of the NBC News and MSNBC programs, the news desks of NBC News, NBC News’ Specials unit and the East Coast MSNBC.com editorial operation.


“Today, all of NBC News’ home base of operations is finally where it should be - under one roof,” NBC News president Steve Capus said in a prepared statement. “Not only do we have the most advanced technology, the finest achievements in design and a dizzying array of visual enhancements, but most importantly, our greatest asset, the men and women of NBC News, are all in one place. This is our true strength, and will be the key to our continued success for many, many years to come.”


The renovation project began in February, and will see its full completion of office and production facilities in 2008. The completed project will also be home to Dateline NBC, Peacock Productions, NBC News’ educational initiatives including iCue and Channel One, NBC News Radio, and NBC News2Go, among other strategic initiative groups.


Additionally, Thursday NBC News also unveiled the next phase of the project with long-term plans to create a HDTV West Coast News Content center and television production facility in Los Angeles that will house NBC News’ Los Angeles bureau, among other NBC Universal properties. The West Coast News center will be modeled after the NBC News’ World Headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Given the sad state of writing on many TV shows and movies, I think the writers might be overestimating the effect of their walkout.


And at this stage of the tech evolution, giving the network suits more incentive to program "reality" and other non-written programs could be suicidal.
