RATINGS REPORT

  • Night 13 of the Olympics dipped to a 4.8 from Monday’s 5.6, down significantly from last Tuesday’s 6.6 and the equivalent night in Vancouver (5.4). In late night, Jimmy Fallon’s second night at the Tonight Show remained strong drawing a 5.3 in overnight metered-markets ratings, unsurprisingly down from Monday’s 7.1, but nonetheless very strong.
  • Idol on Fox was down 10% from last Thursday's 3.0 to a 2.7 in its first live show of the season.
  • On ABC Killer Women hit a series low 0.6 at 10pm, down from last week’s 0.7. Somebody needs to kill off this show...
