Cite? Ratings? Link? No, the article provides no data BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY YET. We're still IN the sweeps period - you get the ratings after the sweep is over. This little gratuitous sentence is whole fiction and has no place in the article.

Nielsen Media Research collects audience data among a specific sample of homes across the 55 "Metered" markets on a 24-7-365 basis and there is a National "NTI" number available as well. These National and Metered Market "ratings" provide only Household-level detail.
"Sweeps" - there are four "Major" ones in a year: November, February, May and July (In the same order of relative importance) - produce detail on WHO in those households is watching what across ALL 210 DMA's for those months only.
Technically, there are ratings figures available by 10 AM the following day for any broadcast...what is NOT available yet is the ratings detail for the entire sweep period. In the sweeps, Nielsen collects/estimates program performance among demographic groups....THAT level of detail is released after the sweep is over.
