Seems a little weird to have so few syndie game shows to report ratings about. Those flipping demos have cleaned out the genre in syndication. Oh well, at least Pat and Alex loomed a little taller in the week ending September 11. But Meredith's premiere week for season ten didn't help the numbers. Broadcasting and Cable spreads the mixed news...Wheel of Fortune 6.1 - up a couple ticks in the second-to-last week of reruns
Jeopardy 5.2 - up four ticks from previous week's season low
Family Feud 2.4 - down a couple ticks in the last week before its new season
Millionaire 2.3 - down a tick for its premiere week
If and when TV by the Numbers posts the syndie viewership averages, I won't be shy about sharing them. In a related note, I'm leaving the broadcast game show ratings in the sidebar for a little while, even though there are currently no traditional game shows in broadcast prime time. Sooner or later I'll take the old numbers down.
Also, Soap Opera Network (belying its name) occasionally publishes numbers for The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal. If any of those ratings surface, I'll post them in the sidebar.
Oh, TV by the Numbers put up the syndie viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 9.4 million, Jeopardy 7.8 million, Family Feud 3.5 million, Millionaire 3.1 million. TVBTN has been pretty quick with the syndie numbers lately.
