There will be different financial components concerned in a present’s destiny, however sometimes the higher-rated collection are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
Needless to say the demo numbers are sometimes what’s most necessary to advertisers. Due to this fact, that’s how the networks measure success.

Older viewers additionally matter however youthful viewers watch much less conventional TV and are due to this fact more durable to succeed in. Delayed viewing issues increasingly today (if commercials are watched) however reside viewing remains to be advertisers’ excellent.
Demo numbers are sometimes reported utilizing the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for instance). Within the averages, I’m utilizing two further decimal for simpler rating. The networks keep in mind when exhibits air on Fridays and Saturdays, nights when TV viewership is decrease.
