NBC To Finish 5th In Sweeps For First Time
Deadline Hollywood ^ | February 21, 2013 | Dominic Patten

Posted on 02/22/2013 11:17:07 AM PST by Colonel_Flagg

An already bad month is getting worse for NBC. For the first time in sweeps history, the network is projected to finish fifth in the key adults 18-49 demographic. That’s a crushing blow for NBC...

snip...

From the beginning of the February sweep on January 31 through February 19, NBC has averaged a 1.2 rating among adults 18-49. That’s below the 1.5 that Univision has been averaging so far over the 20 night of the sweep period. In fact, Univision has bested NBC every single night of the sweep so far among adults 18-49 and is poised to overtake NBC for its first fourth-place sweep finish in the demo.

Media Schadenfreude alert.

NBC falling behind the Spanish-language Univision in the February ratings book.

Perhaps more liberalism is the answer.

At this rate their local stations will be pre-empting the prime-time schedule for infomercials and reruns of Get Smart

Looks like that new management ain't working out so hot. Maybe they should move farther left and be a big success, like MSNBC. Oh, wait, they are MSNBC. Well, maybe they could move their primetime programs farther left. What? Not possible?

I predict they'll do an hour a week of replaying Soviet Mayday parades.

My thanks to whoever invented the mute button. Listening to Primer Impacto is like spending time on a chicken farm.

I just remotely scrolled through the NBC prime time lineup. How much more irrelevant could it get?

What? Americans don’t want to watch gay men with children? Go figger.

I haven’t watched a lot of prime time tv since I was a teenager though I did watch NCIS until they put Jamie Lee Curtis on it last year. blech If I missed NCIS when it aired on Tuesday night, then I would watch on the internet or On Demand. But after Jamie Lee Curtis made her second appearance and I read she would be a regular, I quit watching. Who wants to see Gibbs have a romance with his brother? lol

My teenagers like some of the shows on USA, but the main characters of those shows are gay men (in real life) pretending to be straight. I would rather read a book. Or hit refresh every ten minutes on the internet to see if Freerepublic is back online. I watched Covert Affairs for a while, but I decided scratching my fingernails on a chalkboard would be a better use of time. Who writes that stuff?????

Or....too many illegal immigrants watching TV??? What happens when the new Muslim channel starts getting better ratings?

They need more gays, cross-dressing kids, christian bashing, unfunny hacks (Tina Fey), and maybe a musical number about Obama?

Well, I've been watching GMC in prime time - reruns of "Touched by an Angel."

Good stories, uplifting, well written and well acted.

It's on ch 188 Dish. But I don't know what GMC stands for ....
