Members Max Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 Every week this television season (so far three), a shocking thing has happened: NBC is the #1 network in the 18-49 demographic. (CBS still remains the leader in total viewers.) Not even executives at NBC could have imagined this in their wildest dreams, though almost everybody expects NBC not to finish the season as the #1 network. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/22/business/media/nbc-finds-itself-in-unfamiliar-territory-on-top.html Obviously, the success of Revolution and The Voice contributed greatly to this triumph. It also helps that the other networks have made some bad decisions. Aside from Vegas, I think that CBS really screwed up with its new programming.

Members JaneAusten Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 Remember NBC also has Sunday Night Football which gives them a huge boost. But they have had a couple of hits this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted October 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2012 Jane, what surprised me is that despite having Sunday Night Football since 2006, (I believe) NBC was in fourth place every year they had that property until now. I am really impressed with the new NBC leadership, as I thought it would take many years to dig themselves out of the hole Zucker dug for them. I seem to recall a comment he made in regards to his belief that NBC could never be #1 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gtru1981 Posted October 26, 2012 Members Share Posted October 26, 2012 Don't worry, once Football is over, NBC will no longer be number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 26, 2012 Members Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well good for NBC, I've always rooted for them, even if I don't watch any NBC programs expect Days of Our Lives and The New Normal. Oh, and SNL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
