      • Too funny!!!!

        The sad thing is you actually read in the press that you’re supposed to generate cash from Tweets…

        Frankly, as we discussed before, I think the whole “social media interest” is not tracked objectively and corresponds to very little in the real world as it can be (and is) easily manipulated.

    • Yes they should. It should have been gone after three episodes, but FOX executives are WAY too close to Ryan Murphy to let that happen…

  4. Dear Son of the Bronx, hope ou are enjoing the new season! Sorry to bother you but I have one question (Which I am sure has been asked and answered before but I can’t find it).What is the connection between the number of affiliates airing the program (AFF) and the percentage of coverage (CVG)? Is the percentage of coverage always calculated doing AFF/ Total Affliates or that is not it? Thank you a lot SOB and thank you so much for all your numbers and data as usual!

    • Hello again omabin!

      You are the very first to ask me about affiliates and coverage.

      Coverage (CVG) indicates the percentage of U.S. households that’s available to each program. Affiliates (AFF) have something to do with Coverage but it depends on which particular affiliates. For example, if the New York market is not available for a telecast (as was for the CW prime time for 9/28) it’s going to decrease the coverage percentage more than a much smaller market like Green Bay, Wisc.
