“The Nine” pulled from schedule November 29, 2006 6:25 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in News, Nielsen Ratings, Television.add a comment
The freshman drama series, which had garnered a large amount of critical support, has been pulled from the schedule from ABC.
“The Nine” has averaged about 7.96 million viewers in its post “Lost” time slot, and in the key adults 18-49 demo a slim 3.3/9 rating. Though its numbers are terrible, it was expected to do much better since it was given the plush post “Lost” time slot. When the series aired without the benefit of “Lost”, it faltered (pulling a dismal 4.10M viewers just last week).
Beginning this week, ABC will fill the slot with an airing of “20/20”

The nationally televised NFL game on Sunday between the Cowboys and previously undefeated Colts from 4:30 PM to 7:15 PM earned a 15.8/29 household rating and share.
That is good enough for the highest-rated NFL game on any network this season, and best for CBS since a week 17 contest between the Colts and Broncos back in 2004, which earned a 16.1/27 household rating and share.
So far this season, CBS is pacing about 3 percent ahead of the same frame last year, averaging a 11.1/23 household rating.
