NBC in total collapse - Beaten by Spanish language TV


CBS is the big winner.
Last week 18 of the top 30 TV shows were from the CBS Network.  CBS's Survivor, the grandpa of all reality shows, is now in its 26th season.  CBS knows how to entertain the public.


The once great NBC is beaten by Spanish language Univision!
  • The ratings shows both the crappy nature of NBC programming and the shift in who is watching TV in America. 


By Gary;

I just love it!

For the first time in sweeps history, the NBC network is projected to finish fifth in the key adults 18-49 demographic behind Spanish language network Univision.

From my political point of view, I think it is only justice that the "Love Obama All the Time" channel is sinking into a craphole.  Serves you guys right.  Plus your shows really stink.

Coming in fifth is a crushing blow for NBC.  Football is the only thing keeping them afloat.  With football gone their shows are cratering and the ratings plunging.

From the beginning of the February sweep on January 31 through February 19, NBC has averaged a 1.2 rating among adults 18-49. That’s below the 1.5 that Univision has been averaging so far over the 20 night of the sweep period. In fact, Univision has bested NBC every singe night of the sweep so far among adults 18-49 and is poised to overtake NBC for its first fourth-place sweep finish in the demo.

While this isn’t the first time Univision has topped one of the Big Three for a month (it ranked higher than CBS in July 2010 and 2012), it is the first time the Spanish-language network has beaten NBC and the first time it has come in fourth place in an in-season sweep.

CBS is minting cold hard cash . . . and yes I can watch Kaley Cuoco 24 hours a day.



Challenging the Network Monopoly.
HBO began creeping high into the ratings with original programming like True Blood.  Other cable networks have followed.  Today American Movie Classics is eating alive the ratings of the so-called "major" networks with their drama The Walking Dead.

AMC's The Walking Dead came in at #6 beating almost all network programming.
