Ratings are in for TVByTheNumbers
The Carrie Underwood/Brad Paisley co-hosted CMA Awards turned in some very nice numbers last night. Of course, it affected the X Factor’s ratings, but it could have been worse–losing only 3/10s of a point.
X Factor has been staying steady in the ratings since it debuted in September. It’s not going to make that 20 million mark Simon hoped for this year. If anything, it may dip some until the run-up to the finale. That is, unless Americans are too busy preparing for the holidays to tune in.
The 45th Annual CMA Awards paced ABC to a Wednesday win with adults 18-49 and total viewers and that was mostly bad news for the other networks. The CMAs scored a 4.8 adults 18-49 rating and 16.32 million viewers. That’s up a tenth with adults 18-49 versus last year and down slightly in total viewers (last year averaged 16.49 million viewers) but we’ll see what happens in the final numbers..
Against the CMAs, The X Factor was down three tenths from last week to a 3.7 adults 19-49 rating. Note: it’s typical for The X Factor to be adjusted up at least a tenth of a ratings point in the final national numbers.
