Top Shows in C3 Ratings for Premiere Week

Oct 22, 2008  •  Post A Comment

Most of the top shows in program ratings are also the top shows when measured by commercial ratings, the yardstick used by ad buyers to guarantee their spots are being seen by the number of viewers they bargained for. The following chart shows commercial ratings, or C3, for the first week of the new broadcast season, which began Sept. 22, and compares them with the live-plus-same-day program ratings widely reported the day after a show airs.

(Adults 18 to 49, Week of Sept. 22)
