December 2, 1999

Maybe moving to Tuesdays was good after all. It's frustrating to go up against these CBS movies that sound absurd and then go on to handily win the ratings rcae from 9-10 (and on to 11, but we don't care about that here). Good riddance to the CBS Wednesday Night Movie. Norm did fine this week. Nothing to write home about (or on the website about). I was hoping its retention would keep slipping but it appears to be levelling off now. It's fiinding a resting place about the same place we did, if you can actually find a resting place in only seven weeks. So for December, I will pay much more attention to Tuesdays. That's where the positive energy should be going anyway.


Industry analysis...

"CBS' sweetest adults 18-49 demo story of the week was the powerhouse rating delivered Wednesday from 8-9pm by the animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special, a CBS holiday tradition since 1963."
