ION Television August 2008 - Page 5 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mine says "Paid Programming" from noon until 5PM, with the exception of "Houses for $300" at 3pm. I agree that its probably an informercial for the DVD.

Pavan · 08-18-2008, 07:38 PM

Well listings won't reflect it until tomorrow or Wednesday, because the change was made at 4:30pm ET today, I see. Hoping for the best, but it is possible it is a Carl Burnett infomericial.

It's good to see Carol Burnett and Friends coming on at 2:00 pm CT Time it has been a long time since I seen Curnett and Friends on TV The last time I saw Carol Burnett and Friends was on WTBS-17 weeknight's at 5:05 pm CT Time.

Pavan · 08-18-2008, 11:59 PM

Aaron, read what we just said. We don't know what it is, it could be just an infomercial selling Carol Burnett products. And it is not every Sunday, just this Sunday. It's not on any of ION's highlights or anything, so it isn't an ION show.

And Carol Burnett & Friends was on USA and TV Land way after TBS.

searching google, I found these demos for ION primetime last night, which are just absolutely horrendous. These are the demos from the top 20 markets - I'm not sure what total viewers were, but they were obviously extremely low. I found this list at pifeedback.com:

8:00 ION Quantum leap
9:00 ION Dead Zone
10:00 ION ER

# 1 # 2 # 3 # 4 # 5
NY LA CHI PHI DAL
(R) 0.4/1 0.1/0 0.4/1 0.2/0 0.6/1
(R) 0.5/1 0.2/0 0.5/1 0.2/0 0.6/1
(R) 0.1/0 0.3/0 0.2/0 0.2/0 0.4/1

# 6 # 7 # 8 # 9 #10

(R) 0.1/0 0.1/0 0.6/1 0.4/1 1.2/2 0.2/0

I find it very interesting how one show does better than the others in 1 market, but drowns in a different market. Some shows couldn't even manage a tenth of a point in some markets, hence the 0.0 rating some got. If you average the numbers, here are the final household demos for the 3 shows:

Quantum Leap - 0.2/ 0
Dead Zone - 0.3/ 0
ER - 0.3/ 0

Those numbers are absolutely pathetic. What would that even average out to in total viewers? If this is what ION's getting with these shows every Monday-Wednesday, no wonder 2/3 are getting pulled. It must be the movies that pull them up.

Pavan · 08-20-2008, 03:52 PM

Can't tell the total viewers unless we have the HH numbers. Demos is just 18-49. And this list is just the top 20 markets.

According to pifeedback, these are the household numbers and NOT the 12-49 or whatever demos.

Pavan · 08-20-2008, 04:01 PM

You said demos in the original post, though...but it seems they are HH/share's:
http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/t...1551#268101551

Then it seems the shows are doing just about what they are averaging for the week 350,000 viewers or so (top 20 markets atleast). And those are not final numbers, just overnights.

If that's the case, then the movies don't seem to push the ratings up or down - I'm sure the entire network averages about the same thing.

I wish ION would have continued to release those daily ratings like they were late December. They did it for a week then stopped-LOL

Pavan · 08-20-2008, 04:11 PM

The previous link was for Monday the 18th. Here is last night's (Tuesday the 19th):

Did anyone catch what aired on ION at 3PM ET on Sunday?

Scoobiedoo30 · 08-25-2008, 05:35 PM

No I did not get to watch any word on How it did at 2:00 pm CT Time.

Damn it, Pavan, I forgot all about that-LOL. I was really adamant in seeing what was on, too - if it really was Carol Burnet and Friends, we really missed out. I hope someone caught what was on.
