TV audiences are supposed to decline in summer, but syndicated game shows bucked the trend in the week ending June 26. Even Pat and friend are smiling about the ratings. Broadcasting & Cable spreads the good counter-seasonal news...Wheel of Fortune 6.2 - up three ticks
Jeopardy 5.5 - does the soulmate one better, up four ticks
Family Feud 2.6 - up a tick to season high
Millionaire 2.3 - up a tick
5th Grader 1.1 - flat as the daylight fades
Lyrics 0.9 - up a tick as night gently falls (getting poetic, ain't I?)
When TV by the Numbers puts up yada-yada, I'll post the numbers yada-yada. They've been talking about getting the viewership averages up tomorrow, but we'll see.
The averages have arrived: Wheel of Fortune 9.8 million (weekend repeat 4.1 million), Jeopardy 8.5 million, Family Feud 4.0 million. Steve Harvey is climbing up the list, so good for him.
Broadcast game show ratings for the current week are in the sidebar. The numbers generally look decent, though not gigantic.
