GSN ratings?

<< < (3/4) > >>

CaseyAbell:
There must be something keeping those games on Thursday. Maybe it's the college audience, maybe it's the buildup for the final, maybe it's the contract with the NCAA, maybe it's sunspots. No skin off my nose, anyway. I rarely watch CBS and never watch hoops.

[quote name=\'Fedya\' date=\'Mar 29 2004, 12:26 PM\'] Isn't the NCAA Basketball tournament popular on college campuses, which Nielsen is going to have a hard time figuring in to its ratings?  I'd think those are exactly the sorts of people CBS would want to advertise to, if you believe the idea that only males below 35 matter.

 Most sports properties will tell you they are perpetually underrated because of the large viewing numbers in dorms and bars that Nielsen ignores. (Hmmm.... would that help TPIR with its college audience?)

If CBS didn't feel it could do well with the early rounds, they'd be happy to let ESPN or somebody carry them, just as it gave up the women's semifinals and finals and let ESPN take those. I'm willing to bet that in 64 different locations, the game with "their team" is the top-rated show that day or night.  So CBS is happy.

[quote name=\'1978-Jeopardy\' date=\'Mar 27 2004, 06:23 AM\'] I'm just curious, where can I find GSN's ratings? I want to see if they have fallen or risen since the changeover. [/quote]
 According to Steve Beverly,  World Series of Blackjack is doing well, but the other new shows, particularly Kenny vs. Spenny are not.

 I would think Kenny v. Spenny wouldn't do very well.

CaseyAbell:
The Prof doesn't give any numbers, which I can understand. I vaguely remember that he got in trouble with Nielsen once for spilling too many numbers on his site.

I'm happy to hear that the blackjack show is doing okay. I'm sure GSN is relieved, too, because they've committed to two more series of the show.

My guess is that KvS, Fake-a-Date and Spy TV will be gone by late spring, at least from prime time. Dog Eat Dog and Average Joe will take over instead.

EDIT: Without the actual numbers, it's hard to know if the Prof's admitted prejudices against reality and dating shows might be influencing his evaluation. I'm sure the current promos with Kenny and Spenny in drag aren't endearing their show to Mr. Steve, if he's seen any of them. But it's not hard to believe that the blackjack show is retaining more of GSN's core audience than any of the other new efforts.
