It wasn’t a great return for NBC’s aging sitcom. When compared to the season five premiere, the network was down by 31% in the demo and down by 24% in total viewers. After just one airing, 30 Rock is already in the middle of the pack and ranks eighth out of all of NBC’s scripted series this season. That’s not positive.
What the show does have going for it however is that, back in July 2009, NBC-Universal sold 30 Rock into syndication for a very healthy price. Each episode was sold for about $800,000 — more than The Office and My Name is Earl. At that price, NBC has great incentive to keep making new episodes.
Reference point: The 2010-11 season averaged a 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.93 million viewers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
