Payout Perspective:
This week’s adjusted viewership represents the lowest increase this season. However, the peak viewership drew it up over 1 million viewers. The live peak + 3 viewership average drew to 1,188,000 viewers.
I don’t think peak viewers matters that much. News sites that track the TV industry, like TVByTheNumbers, almost never report the peak #s and it’s one of the top TV ratings sites.
Maybe, but I like having all the data.
