Spotted Ratings, Saturday 4/28/12 (FINALS)


WHAT MATTERS:
  • ABC's encore of 2009 theatrical The Blind Side tied as the biggest repeat movie rating this season (with ABC's The Ten Commandments three weeks ago and NBC's It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve). The half-hour breakdowns show an incredible amount of people showed up throughout; it had just a 0.8 rating at 8:00 but was up to a 2.0 by the end, and it grew in each half-hour.
  • Fox took the night with NASCAR, but by a much thinner margin than usual.
  • I still don't think Saturdays are interesting enough to clutter things up with an additional year-to-year post, but I can do the network numbers: ABC +36%, CBS -5%, NBC -32%, Fox -2%, broadcast as a whole +3%.

Dang, that is huge growth for The Blind Side in each half hour. Affiliates had to have been happy with the 2.0 lead in for their newscasts.
