What were you watching last night? Cancelled Made in Jersey or one of the many holiday specials?
I was cable, because network TV had crap on…again.
Congrats on covering Saturday ratings. Just because the networks would like us to forget they abandoned a whole night out of lack of budget doesn’t mean we should ignore it.
A Lot less attention to 18-49 numbers would be better as they still don’t give out viewers under 18 (or over 49) for free (though I’m sure advertisers would love that!)
