TUF 23 Ep 2 DVR rating boost rating up 63%

May 5, 2016 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Before we report on last night’s TUF 23 rating, we have learned the adjusted ratings from Episode 2 last week.  Despite a very low overnight version, the Live+3 rating boosted the episode viewership up 63%.

UPDATED: Per Nielsen, the debut episode of TUF 23 drew 703,000 viewers in adjusted ratings from DVR viewership.  The rating reflects a 47% improvement from the live plus same day rating of 479,000.

TUF 23 Episode 2 drew just 387,000 viewers but based on the DVR viewership, it is up to 629,000 viewers.  Notably, last season’s TUF 22 Episode 2 DVR viewership saw an increase of 60% (463,000 to 740,000).  TUF 21’s Episode 2 saw an increase of 30% (454,000 to 646,000).

Payout Perspective:

Based on the increase in viewership, you could assume that many people that are interested in the show are recording it for later.  With the NBA and NHL playoffs, it’s clear people that also watch this show are watching the playoffs live and watching TUF later.
