Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large We don’t talk much anymore about live+same day ratings, since it’s the earliest measurement of a long tail that now includes time-shifted, streaming and more viewership. But if we look at good ol’ fashioned linear live viewing for the week of February 12, CBS has quite the story to tell. Thanks to the halo effect of its Super Bowl LVIII coverage on Feb.
11, the Eye network’s “premiere week” landed the week’s top 16 most-watched shows. According to CBS, this reps the first time a broadcast network has landed the top 16 slots in broadcast primetime since at least the advent of Nielsen’s People Meter measurement in 1987. Due to the Hollywood strikes, the broadcast networks are only now getting their primetime scripted series back on the air.
Last week, CBS launched the new season for 16 of its 19 primetime entertainment series — averaging 5.08 million viewers for the week, up 32% from its September 2022 premiere week (Sept. 19 to Sept. 25, 2022) average of 3.85 million viewers.
“In an increasingly fragmented media world, CBS’ programming strategy and audience reach continue to stand out and stand tall,” CBS CEO George Cheeks said in a statement. CBS also reported that its primetime series on Paramount+, CBS.com and the CBS app was up 83% from last season’s premiere week. “As soon as the strikes ended, we focused on a programming and promotional plan to launch our new season following the Super Bowl,” said CBS Entertainment prexy Amy Reisenbach.
