Adult Swim: Nielson Ratings?

[Nabuca]

Does anyone have any info on the kind of numbers AS programs have been getting?

[spectre316]

Yeah... I'd also be interested in that too. I have heard that Home Movies gets more ratings than anything else in the block... but are there any news on those?

Since its Sept. 2 launch, Adult Swim (Sundays & Thursdays, 10 p.m.-1
a.m.) has contributed to the network's adult 18-34 rating, posting 67
percent growth in ratings and 84 percent growth in delivery compared to
2000. With the help of Adult Swim, Cartoon Network jumped to #8 from last
year's #10 ranking in total day delivery of adults 18-34 (177,000). In fact,
Cartoon Network's performance with adults 18-34 out-delivers such well-known
networks as Comedy Central, FX, VH1, Sci-Fi Channel, the Discovery Channel,
E! and TV Land.

So safe to say, Adult Swim is doing well. The block itself gets about a 1.2 share(approx. 1,300,000 viewers).

That's great. Glad to know AS has a rather large audience.

If DBZ is the longest running series on cartoon network does that mean Tonnami gets alot more viewers then adult swim?

[ohmrbill]

No, it just means that DBZ has a lot of episodes.

[jeffrey 228]

I mean anything can happend as long as Adult Swim stays up with new episodes of it's shows.

[Killtacular]

Toonami does get more viewers than Adult Swim though. That's a given. I think they get a 4.0 or 5.0 share. Not sure.

Isn't SGC2C the longest running series on Cartoon Network?

[Calhoun07]

Yes, I believe it is, and still going strong, too, I might add. I hope it goes on for quite a while longer!

[spectre316]

But then why is Cartoon Network claiming that DBZ is the longest running series?

[livingfruitvirus]

TOM said it's "Our longest running series." And it is. Toonami has been running it for 3 years now.

The ratings are more about the key demos adults 18-49. That's the whole reason AS is around, to get older people to watch a mostly kids network. I hear they are doing pretty well in key demos, but I can give you a number.

It's the longest running cartoon series ever by number of episodes. Not by how long it's been airing on CN.
