Ratings Predictions Thread for Sanctuary

Remember here that those ratings are for the second showing of Chimera. The first one pulled in close to 1 million, and a lot of people knew they were double showing the show. So if you're SyFy you need to figure out a "true" rating. That is adding the two together then subtracting out people who watched it twice (that number will be guess work).

Say for example that 10% of Friday's viewers are rewatching it after seeing it Tuesday. Then the true viewership is:

955,000 from Tuesday + 699,000 from Friday - 70,000 overlap viewers = 1,584,000 total viewers. Obviously if there was more overlap then the subtract number is higher.

This is similar to how BBC handles shows with multiple viewings - the final rating combines the showings and factors out repeat watchers.

According to that scheme they should air the episode 7 days a week and twice a day. I'm sure the ratings will be terrific then.

It all depends on the overlap percentage. Also the more you air it the fewer people it draws in successive viewings. So past a certain number it is counter-productive because you draw so few viewers that new programming in the slot is more profitable even with increased cost.

Really all I was doing was pointing out that SyFy is likely well aware that their double showings are splitting the audience and that they will take it into account in some manner.

It's okay. You're forgiven.

Now how about some predictions for the upcoming episode people! :)

Do we know if this is another split or back to one showing per week? That will affect the ratings.

As far as I know, it'll be just 1 night a week, as it's been this season. :)

Actually the last couple of weeks they did a Tuesday and a Friday showing. The effect was to split the ratings.

I think we should just count last Friday's ratings. Graybrew would have won another crystal ball if Stoneless hadn't been asleep at the wheel. :mad:

It was my fault, I should have just posted my single guess, and got him to add the rest later.
No Biggie.
