Diaries Get Reprieve; Nielsen Defers to Clients
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/local-tv/nielsen-pushes-back-ratings-stabilization-plans-until-2016/141399
“It’s become clear based on your input, that the model does not align with how many of you sell your ad inventory, nor sufficiently take into account the week-to-week variability in programming lineups,” Nielsen said in a letter to clients.
Hate to say I told you so, but Nielsen has a decade-long history of making big plans and announcements and then never actually rolling out the service. Remember mailable meters?
So, for another year at least, local Nielsen clients can be assured their local programs will have demographics based on their own station's audience. Was that so hard, Nielsen?

Stanley Cup: Chicago vs. Tampa
Posted: 06/01/2015 10:35:58 AM
Type: Announcements
Message: Contingencies have been updated to include team match-ups for the NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS as follows: Wed 6/3: Gm #1 - Chicago @ Tampa Bay; Sat 6/6: Gm #2 - Chicago @ Tampa Bay; Sat 6/13: Gm #5 (if nec) - Chicago @ Tampa Bay; Mon 6/15: Gm #6 (if nec) - Tampa Bay @ Chicago; Wed 6/17: Gm #7 (if nec) - Chicago @ Tampa Bay.
This should be a fairly short series, but I'm not an expert on hockey.. the only games I've ever attended were in Chicago, so I'm biased.

Umm.. remind me again why I picked the name for this website?
Yep, if you're looking for a spin-able number, break out the PAVs of a two-parter. The first hour is a sure thing to carry a higher rating due to the PVT levels, even if share is maintained into the second hour.

This time slot used to demand a huge premium in Las Vegas. Waking conventioneers don't fill out diaries or have meters, but in a town with 40 million visitors a year, they always drove demand in Vegas. In the old days of national domination of this daypart by the Today Show, this was a no brainer.

If it's a surprise to you that The National Dog Show will be airing on Thanksgiving this year, you are either new to all things NBC or you need my help. I've noticed that other networks appear to hold back their competitive schedule mailings until after they've seen what NBC does late on Friday afternoon. So maybe we have a Manhattan Standoff between folks itching to take off for the pub or the Hamptons once it gets warmer.

What they are not telling you here is that there's also an hour of The Voice from 8p-9p on May 19th, so they are making it a 3 hour night and breaking it into two programs. It could be the 8pm hour is a Best Of or edited highlights of Monday's 2 hour special. My guess is that if you want higher numbers, buy/sell the two hour portion.
The bumped Chicago Fire gets burned off on Wednesday, April 29th at 8pm.. normally filled with Laura.
4th Quarter Sports Specials & Soccer Trickle Out
Not even APT2GO can keep up with all of the changes made to fourth quarter sports today; the "what's new" section truncates the changes announced before 10am EDT, so full access to APT is required to track down all the changes.
Good thing I have access to APT for my NBC clients, because they already have updated Sports inventory to match today's NBC announcements, as well as customized estimates with updated rationale.
Many of the programs announced today were already in inventory (my clients know it's still not booked in APT because there isn't a date listed in the Program Name field, the way all booked OTO programs are in our customized listings) already, on the very date, day and time of the broadcast.
When you've done this since 1998, you sorta know what to expect from NBC.
Sometimes. As the name of the website indicates, there's only one thing to be sure of when it comes to NBC schedules.. they are NothingButChange.
