The Memorial Day holiday weekend will cause delays for daily national ratings (live+same day cable and broadcast) for several days.  This is how the ratings should roll out the next several days.

We will update this schedule if anything changes.  (All times Pacific.)

  • Friday May 26 nationals available Tuesday May 30 at 1 pm
  • Saturday May 27 nationals available Wednesday May 31 at 7 am
  • Sunday May 28 nationals available Wednesday May 31 at 7 am
  • Monday May 29 nationals available Wednesday May 31 at 1 pm
  • Tuesday May 30 nationals available Thursday June 1 at 7 am

Then for a few days, broadcast ratings will follow cable ratings.

  • Wednesday May 31 Cable available Thursday June 1 at 1 pm*
    • Broadcast available Friday June 2 at 10 am
  • Thursday June 1 Cable available Friday June 2 at 1 pm*
    • Broadcast available Monday June 5 at 7 am

* denotes normal release time

The schedule will return to normal with the release of Friday June 2 cable and broadcast nationals at 1 pm Monday June 5.

As usual, the “fast affiliate nationals” will continue to be released each morning at 8 am for the previous night’s preliminary prime time ratings on the broadcast networks.
