GSN's total day numbers have soured with their new schedule. On the GSN board I offer my completely unsolicited advice...Douglas is dumping all his broadcast and cable ratings together in one long post now. Guess it makes easier for him. The prime time/total day averages for the most recent three days:
September 12 287K/227K
September 13 303K/213K
September 14 328K/215K
A couple obvious observations. Drew continues to kill late night. Get rid of him. Pre-2:00PM remains weak but weaknesses have cropped up all over the schedule. And remind me again why GSN messed around with the schedule so much. All they had to do was unload Improv-a-Ganza and Love Triangle, make some new eps of Engvall Lingo, and get some new acquisitions for the morning and early afternoon.
To be fair, the broadcast networks are sopping up a lot of the audience with their debuts at this time of year. But GSN ain't pulling too many 300K+ numbers right now except for old vets Karn and O'Hurley. So much for that fantasy schedule which almost eliminates Karn and O'Hurley from the lineup.
I'd ask NBC what it would take to pry Minute To Win It loose. Guy Fieri and friends would make a nice addition to prime time (or anywhere else on the schedule).
