NBC Sunday Night Football Schedule & Estimates Published

While APT still doesn't show the individual games, various websites have given the NFL TV schedule for all networks.  I've used that information and RatingBook.com clients have week by week inventory.

The current Sports By Date inventory for April 26, 2014 through April 19, 2015 has over three hundred individual entries, each with their own customized audience estimate.

***

29 hours after I posted the above,  before they headed out the door at 30 Rock on Friday evening, the fine folks at NBC noted this on APT:

 Posted: 04/25/2014 07:25:36 PM
Type: New Booking
Message: NFL 2014 REGULAR SEASON FOOTBALL (including FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA) is now booked on the following dates: Thursday 9/4 and 11/27; Sunday 9/7-12/28. Please note: impact to dayparts immediately preceding and immediately after each game will be posted by COB on Monday 4/28. In addition, optional and stand-by programming, advertising and promotional guidelines, and preliminary operating conditions will be posted as well. Please advise clearance.

After watching NBC Sports schedule these "Sports Specials" for 15 years, I'm rarely surprised by a novel sports booking, although the Pro Fishing Special did amuse.

So, in reference to the TBD items, RatingBook.com clients will get not just inventory lines, but audience estimates on what I believe will eventually be booked there.

Update:

I had wondered why there was such a fascination at 30 Rock for British Soccer.  Turns out the fashion section of The New York Times explains a lot.

http://nyti.ms/1j2MPG2

That may explain why, at 8:30 a.m. last Sunday, a lively crowd of supporters with tattoos and artfully rolled jeans showed up to Banter, a bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with plank floors that caters to Premier League fans. With several in Steven Gerrard jerseys and team scarves emblazoned with the Liverpool team motto, “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” they settled in for a crucial live match between Liverpool and Manchester City.



Sure, anyone could have watched the game at home, thanks to NBC Universal’s $250 million deal to show all Premier League games. But football — a term some Americans have learned to appropriate without wincing — is a communal experience, even when you grew up 3,000 or 6,000 miles from the community that you have adopted as your sporting home.
He cited several reasons for the fetish for English soccer in particular: the Premier League’s ubiquity on television, the lack of a language barrier. And, of course, there is garden-variety Anglophilia.
Mr. Bennett, for his part, suggested another: the early start of the games in bars.
“You should never underestimate the allure of daytime drinking,” Mr. Bennett said. “If you’re in a bar at 7 in morning with a pint of Guinness, you have a social problem. If you are in a bar at 7 in the morning with that same pint of Guinness and Chelsea is on TV, you’re a football fan.

What Clients Say About Our Services

Taken from LinkedIn:

Beth Worsham
General Sales Manager at Media General / WSPA & WYCW
At WSPA & WYCW, the CBS & CW affiliates in the 37th Market, having accurate, reliable and forward thinking research data is critical to our business success. In early 2014, I hired Paul Heine to manage our rating estimates, programming and overnight rating analysis while I interviewed for a new Research Director.

Paul was amazing to work with. His insight and deep understanding of Nielsen data along with his awareness of how a seller uses research information made the transition period very smooth for our clients, account executives & managers.

I would highly recommend Paul to any station that lacks a research director or needs help in building rating estimates with logical rationale.

He is prompt, smart, dependable...a great guy to have on your team!
