It’s a big drop for NBC’s venerable reality competition. Compared to last year’s January debut, the show is down by 27% in the demo and 33% in total viewers. If the rest of the peacock network’s schedule was doing better, it would be time to cut back The Biggest Loser to just one cycle per year.
Looking for the Fall 2011-12 season ratings?
Reference point: The Spring 2010-11 season averaged a 2.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.91 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.
