Title: GSN ratings for August
Post by: CaseyAbell on September 24, 2005, 01:00:57 AM
GSN's household ratings for August were little changed from the July numbers, according to CableWorld (http://\"http://www.cableworld.com/cgi/cw/show_mag.cgi?pub=cw&mon=092605&file=augustratings.htm\"). The network did a 0.4 rating and a 248K average in households for August prime time, compared to 0.4 and 253K in July. The entire track from December 2004, when CableWorld started publishing the monthly averages:

Dec 2004:  0.5  259K
Jan 2005:  0.5  268K
Feb 2005:  0.4  228K
Mar 2005:  0.4  226K
Apr 2005:  0.4  223K
May 2005:  0.4  207K
Jun 2005:  0.4  239K
Jul 2005:  0.4  253K
Aug 2005:  0.4  248K

Amazing Race has helped the overall household numbers some, but has shown its main effect in younger demos and more viewers. A GSN press release (http://\"http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/pr.cgi?id=20050919gsn01\") claimed big increases in 18-49 and 25-54, plus 325K viewers for the show. MultiChannel says GSN will run a spot for its Amazing Race reruns during the show's eighth-season CBS premiere on September 27.
