Hey, so, next week I’m going to try a new feature called the Studio Show Scorecard, comparing the ratings for all the various daily studio shows on the various national sports networks. Should I do this in a separate post on Friday, or put it up with the other stuff the following week? If I do it in a separate post, which post should have the total day averages? (Speaking of which, the averages for Speed and Fuel you see here are for Monday-Friday only and do not include the post-relaunch period.) Should I have separate tables for each day (thus ending up with more total tables and a huge temptation to grab more ratings than I realistically have time for) or each timeslot (which can be awkward with the varying time slots shows have)? Feel free to leave your suggestions in an e-mail or the comments (assuming, you know, anyone cares about this stuff).
Hey, here’s something interesting: the viewership for the last hours of Speed and the first hours of Fox Sports 1! Shows in bold were, for the time being, the most-watched program in the young network’s history; the most watched program at the end of the weekend is in the main highlights table. It’s FS1’s first appearance in my weekly ratings tables! They grow up so fast…
