The 2014-15 Climate Center: Days/Times

The Climate Center is the latest way to keep up with some of this site's bigger-picture numbers on a week-to-week basis. It'll provide a running track of trends across the broadcasters, including individual networks, genres, and days of week/time of day. These will include the numbers that have gone into the A18-49+ theme posts, plus some new ones.

The "Days/Times" post breaks apart big four programming based on the clock and the calendar, examining which nights of the week and which half-hours of primetime are most crowded. At the moment, I'm just putting up tables that look at the big four non-sports originals in each slot, but this section will probably be expanded shortly with tables that widen the lens to overall viewing/overall broadcast viewing tendencies.

These numbers are up to date through the end of the regular season: Wednesday, May 20.

Click to expand for more on the "climate" numbers used herein.

Big four originals season-to-date by day of the week - These numbers index the big four networks' averages in original non-sports series on each day of the week compared to their average across the entire week.

• To keep Sunday on a relatively apples-to-apples basis with the other weekdays, the 7:00 hour is excluded.

Big four original categories by time of day - These numbers index the big four networks' averages in original non-sports series in each half hour compared to their average across the entire night.

• These are based on half-hour breakdowns, not on full program ratings. This is most evident in the 10:00 hour, where virtually everything airs across the whole hour. So you can see pretty clearly how much a program declines from 10:00 to 10:30 on average.
