I agree.They had a pretty decent schedule years ago,when they aired "Green Acres","Mama's Family","Alice",and "Amen".,and for those who could get them,"I Married Joan","The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet","My Little Margie" and "The Beverly Hillbillies".Why they changed,I"ll never know.

SpenceOlchin · 09-09-2010, 09:53 PM

I'll make sure not to watch.

JulieSomoski · 09-09-2010, 10:10 PM

This is beyond pathetic. They add an extra hour, and all they do is air more CM/WAT? Are you kidding me?

Jude The Obscure · 09-09-2010, 10:59 PM

Wasted opportunity.... at least they could air reruns of "Shark" during one of these hours.

Du Mont · 09-21-2010, 03:52 PM

ION finished up the season with a nice set of Nielsens in Week 52, and established a new all-time network record performance for the full 52-week season.

Week 52 (Sep.13-19, 2010)
0.9HH/1%, 0.4 A18-49 (460,000), 1,280,000 P2+ viewers

2009-10 Season (Full 52 Weeks)
0.7HH/1%, 0.3 A18-49 (400,000), 1,080,000 P2+ viewers

For the full season, ION edged out Telemundo and TeleFutura in both households and P2+ viewers.

Rezny@gmail.com · 09-21-2010, 06:33 PM

I guess what it all boils down to,(means,bottom line is)ION is ANOTHER cable network where ratings are more important than what WE the viewers want.In other words,if the programs they air get good ratings,they will continue to air them.And yes,I realize that ION programming executives have the final say-we do not.

Du Mont · 10-05-2010, 11:01 PM

ION kicked off the 2010-11 season with two weeks of Nielsens showing nice year-over-year growth.

Week 1 (Sep.20-26, 2010)
0.7HH/1%, 0.3 A18-49 (380,000), 1,010,000 P2+ viewers
Vs. 2009: HH +75%, A18-49 +50%, P2+ +60%

Week 2 (Sep.27-Oct.4, 2010)
00.7HH/1%, 0.3 A18-49 (350,000), 1,020,000 P2+ viewers
Vs. 2009: HH +75%, A18-49 +50%, P2+ +57%

2010-11 Season (First 2 Weeks)
0.7HH/1%, 0.3 A18-49 (365,000), 1,015,000 P2+ viewers

I'm not making a November/December thread since the schedule is the same. But you can read about the movies and stunts here:

clj2 · 11-30-2010, 06:31 PM

Just a FYI for viewers in Pittsburgh (I don't think this was mentioned here)...ION will be available over the air soon:

http://www.broadcastingcable.com/art...o_Buy_WQEX.php

If they would just get some more shows...

Du Mont · 01-13-2011, 01:55 PM

ION had its strongest week ever last week in the Nielsens, setting new records in households and P2+ (tying its previous high in A18-49s). Much of the credit can go to 'Criminal Minds', which itself established a new alltime high last week for the network in households, A18-49s and P2+ for a single broadcast.

Week 16 (Jan.3-9, 2011)

ION 1.0HH/2%, 0.4 A18-49, 1,520,000 P2+ viewers

LUNCH · 01-13-2011, 02:20 PM

I question how accurate the Nielsen ratings still are when tv stations with such pathetic line-ups can find something to brag about.And it's not only that ION station either,but many other stations too.What type of people and very narrow demographic groups are the Nielsen ratings using these days.Maybe Nielsen now just accepts people that like to watch commercial filled garbage.

MikeLutton · 01-13-2011, 02:37 PM

is anyone surprised this channell is stil in Buisness lol

LUNCH · 01-13-2011, 02:46 PM

I'm not surprised. 90+ percent of tv stations really have no business being on the air period, because they are worthless,why should ION or whatever they call themselves be an exception.lol
