Fox Abandons Same-Day Ratings


By Michael O'Connell, Nov 20, 2015 Hollywood Reporter

In a move that's certainly in line with recent trends, but still a little surprising, Fox announced Friday afternoon that it will no longer issue reports on its own live-plus-same day ratings.

Of course, those numbers will continue to be available and reported, courtesy of ratings house Nielsen Media and the other networks that issue daily reports, but it is clear that Fox is trying to shift the conversation towards time-shifting — as many big cable networks (FX, AMC, USA) have successfully done over the last several years. (FX Networks topper John Landgraf was the first to formally make the move in July 2014.)

Though the network will make exceptions for live events such as sports and award shows, Fox will hold off on discussing the performance of its slate of original series until live-plus-three day, live-plus-seven day and multiplatform data are available.
