Weekly True Power Rankings for Summer 2015

These are the Weekly True Power Rankings for Summer 2015, lining up all five networks' shows based on their recent (last one-third of episodes aired) averages in the timeslot-adjusted metric True. These will be updated every week, usually on Wednesday mornings.

Also included in this year's edition: how the last-one-third average compares to previous episodes (Heat), the raw rating average over the comparable last-one-third period (A18-49), the full season's year-to-year trend vs. the same number of episodes last year (y2y), the percentage of the total viewership falling within the A18-49 demo (Skew), and the percentage of the A18-49 audience that is male (%Male).

These rankings cover numbers through Sunday, September 6.
