  • I'd just like to state for the record that Nielson is in fact the devil. They murder perfectly good television shows with their flawed processes. (Just a little steam to let out) ---- 03:02, 4 July 2007 (EDT)
  • Just a note-to-self and other editors that it looks like the actual Nielson ratings come out the Monday after an episode airs, and the Fast National ratings come out only 1-2 days after the airing (much quicker).--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:24, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

Source?

So where did the Nielson ratings posted Sept. 30th come from? According to the Nielson Media website, Heroes scored a 9.9 rating with 16.972 million total viewers last week. Of course, that's total viewers (not just 18-49). Also, can we note somewhere that Heroes was 10th among the top 10 shows last week?--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:19, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

  • Bigfoot Lover on Bionic Wiki is using the following sources, and I've updated the ratings for Season 2 by them here:
Fast Nationals rating and share are available one to two days after airing from Zap2It.com (rating/share is specified next to the program name)
18--49 yro rating and share (final Nielson version) are published on the pifeedback.com forum by the following week
18--49 yro viewers is published at tvbythenumbers.com the following week as well--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:07, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

Merge

This article needs to be merged and then deleted the same way that the article video on demand was done. --Pinkkeith 12:34, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

  • Merged with what?--MiamiVolts (talk) 13:06, 10 October 2007 (EDT)
    • Merged into the Heroes article. Right now it's transcluded, but I've always felt that the Nielson ratings don't require their own article but instead should only exist as a section of the Heroes article. (Admin 17:09, 10 October 2007 (EDT))
      • Another option, since Heroes is pretty huge, would be to leave it as-is, but trim the transcluded part using noincludes to be just the current season, with an includeonly link back to the full article. I hesitate to think how Heroes will look by the end of the season, let alone by season 5.--Hardvice (talk) 17:19, 10 October 2007 (EDT)
        • I've just never been a fan of an individual article named "Nielson ratings"; it always seemed out of place to me. I've always thought that it should either be merged into Heroes or perhaps exist as a subpage of Heroes. (Admin 17:23, 10 October 2007 (EDT))
