Wednesday’s numbers…

I pulled these for a spell because it was brought to my attention that they differed slightly from TVNewser’s numbers. Now I understand why there’s a difference. Some nets include DVR data with their ratings. It’s called Live Plus. Mine don’t include that data. The difference is usually marginal so if you see a difference like that again in the future that’s why.

  2. Thanks for posting these, Spud. Newser is basically ignoring the total ratings (except for the demo) because, I presume, they highlight the discrepancy between his favorite program host and his rival.

    Hey Brian, once you hit 54, you won’t matter either!
