The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same-day viewing). Keep in mind that the demo numbers are typically what’s most important to advertisers. Therefore, that’s how the networks measure success. Advertisers typically pay more for ad time on a show that has a higher demo rating. Because older viewers don’t count? No, it’s because younger viewers watch less traditional TV and are harder to reach. It’s also important to remember that ratings are designed to estimate how many people watch a show’s commercials — not the show itself. That’s what advertisers pay for.

What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better?
As I’m reading this, I see the The Coroner is dead last – why? because everyone has already seen the SE04 earlier this year. For those who can pick up CBC Canada, they’ve seen it already. The CW is airing the 4th season now. If it were the 5th I would watch it. The SE05 will air most likely Jan 2023, same time it originally aired this year. CW will probably drop it as it’s not pulling in the ratings like they hoped but the CBC won’t drop it. It’s a top rated show in Canada.
