projecthalaxy posted:TV ratings are a work anyway. 2.9 points basically means 2.9% of all 120 million households with a TV. That is not eyes on the product, it doesn't account for more than one person watching the same TV. The share rating is based on how many people watching TV at the time watched that show. So if you have 100 million homes, and only 2 million people watch a show, that's a 2.0 rating. If 50 million homes were watching TV at the time, then that's a 4.0 share. projecthalaxy posted:I was a Nielsen house for like 2 weeks. They gave me a dollar and after i logged that i watched nothing but smackdown and cooking competitions for 14 days i was not invited back Yeah, I did it for a few weeks one time and everyone in our home was given $4 or $6, I can't remember. My mom basically gave it to me and said I could keep the money if I filled out everyone's paper log. But they use a combination of the dairies and actual meters on people's TV, which they use to cross check each other as a way to make sure each method is actually getting an average. While most of the monitoring is done electronically, they still send out 2 million paper diaries each year during sweeps periods

I don't know this for sure, but I assume that's always been the case, we're just burdened with the horror of knowledge, now. the average person is infinitely healthier, better educated, and more enfranchised than at almost any other point in history. you are absolutely right: the difference is that now the average person is much, much more aware that they are enslaved and abused by a tiny elite

i still don't think wwe is going to cancel or postpone anything. vince only cares about money and he cares about it a lot. the talent is probably going through their social media to make sure they've never said anything bad about saudi arabia though.

for example, imagine how many people have been murdered by the house of Saud so that they might consolidate their power. imagine how many were tortured and murdered without anyone knowing or finding them. imagine how many were tortured and murdered and no one even thought to challenge the king

Being a WWE Superstar has to be a miserable existence if you're not at the top of the card. The travel schedule alone would drive a normal person insane.

Love how every other show is getting $500mil regardless of ratings. Looking forward to seeing what Bryan Fuller can do with that budget on season 2 (of many) of American Gods

If Smackdown stays steady for the next year they will only need a 50% viewership increase to meet Fox's expectations.

I keep saying Smackdown on Fox has the potential to be a replay of the Jay Leno at 10pm fiasco but if ratings keep up it might even be a Pink Lady and Jeff disaster

Which isn't guaranteed. What lovely ratings? The only thing they lose to on cable is Monday Night Football and its immediate pre/postgame programming (and sometimes Fox News, because olds). All ratings are bad. I don't know how many times I can explain this to you guys. It is an indisputable truth. And WWE, like virtually all live programming, has slightly less bad ratings than everything else, hence why major networks still pay hand over fist for it. You keep suggesting that WWE has to see a massive increase in ratings to justify Fox's spending, but you ignore the fact that NBCUniversal nearly doubled their WWE contract while still losing Smackdown, and they're obviously not going to expect a ratings explosion. I assume I'm going to need to be absolutely explicit for you folks, so I'll add: this is not a defense of WWE. They are a more-evil-than-most corporation that produces a bad product. This is simply a factual description of where WWE's ratings stand in the context of other cable programming. jesus WEP posted:WWE Raw has lost two thirds of its audience in the last 20 years is this a bit

USA is a cable network owned by NBC. Fox is a broadcast network owned by Disney now. The bar for bad ratings is much lower on cable than the bar for bad ratings on broadcast TV. I don't know why this has to keep being pointed out every time someone gets all in their feelings when someone says WWE's ratings are declining and that it's potentially bad news when their run on Fox starts.
