HOME GROWN: Nielsen Media Research said that there will be 112.8 million TV HHs in the U.S. on January 1, up 1.3% from a year prior. The number of viewers will be 286 million, a gain of 1% (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 8/24).
DISNEY: Disney Channel won last week in basic cable primetime ratings, buoyed by the August 17 record-setting viewership performance of "High School Musical 2" and "Hannah Montana." Disney averaged 5.8 million viewers for the week and “nearly took the weekly ratings prize for all basic and broadcast" TV nets; it finished the week behind only CBS (6.7 million) and Fox (6.0 million). In total average viewers on cable, USA Network placed second with 2.8 million, while TNT (2.2 million), ESPN (2.0 million) and TBS (1.8 million) rounded out the top five (MULTICHANNEL.com, 8/21).
TEAM NOTES: The Packers-Seahawks preseason game last Saturday night on WTMJ-NBC earned an 18.4, or 162,472 HHs, more than double the audience for the highest-rated of the three Brewers games airing over the weekend (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 8/21)....D’Backs games on FSN Arizona through the first 11 games in August averaged a 6.0/11, up 30% from the team’s ratings in July (FSN Arizona).
LUCKY 13: X Games 13 on ESPN delivered the most-viewed X Games ever among HHs (968,000 for three telecasts) and males 12-17, 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54. ESPN’s primetime telecasts were up 35% compared to ’06 among men 12-17. Nearly 38 million fans tuned into X Games 13, up 7% from ’06. Overall, the X Games averaged a 1.0, up 19% from ’06. ESPN said its action sports site, EXPN.com, recorded its most traffic ever for an X Games with live Webcasts and fan voting (ESPN).
