  • Putting National Party Convention
    CONVENTIONAL WISDOM: PUTTINGNATIONAL PARTY CONVENTION RATINGS IN CONTEXT Jill A. Edy and Miglena Daradanova J&MC This paper places broadcast major party convention ratings in the broad- er context of the changing media environmentfrom 1976 until 2008 in order to explore the decline in audience for the convention. Broadcast convention ratings are contrasted with convention ratingsfor cable news networks, ratings for broadcast entertainment programming, and ratings Q for "event" programming. Relative to audiences for other kinds of pro- gramming, convention audiences remain large, suggesting that profit- making criteria may have distorted representations of the convention audience and views of whether airing the convention remains worth- while. Over 80 percent of households watched the conventions in 1952 and 1960.... During the last two conventions, ratings fell to below 33 percent. The ratings reflect declining involvement in traditional politics.' Oh, come on. At neither convention is any news to be found. The primaries were effectively over several months ago. The public has tuned out the election campaign for a long time now.... Ratings for convention coverage are abysmal. Yet Shales thinks the networks should cover them in the name of good cit- izenship?2 It has become one of the rituals of presidential election years to lament the declining television audience for the major party conven- tions. Scholars like Thomas Patterson have documented year-on-year declines in convention ratings and linked them to declining participation and rising cynicism among citizens, asking what this means for the future of mass dem~cracy.~Journalists, looking at conventions in much the same way, complain that conventions are little more than four-night political infomercials, devoid of news content and therefore boring to audiences and reporters alike.4 Some have suggested that they are no longer worth airing.

  • Blacks Reveal TV Loyalty
    Page 1 1 of 1 DOCUMENT Advertising Age November 18, 1991 Blacks reveal TV loyalty SECTION: MEDIA; Media Works; Tracking Shares; Pg. 28 LENGTH: 537 words While overall ratings for the Big 3 networks continue to decline, a BBDO Worldwide analysis of data from Nielsen Media Research shows that blacks in the U.S. are watching network TV in record numbers. "Television Viewing Among Blacks" shows that TV viewing within black households is 48% higher than all other households. In 1990, black households viewed an average 69.8 hours of TV a week. Non-black households watched an average 47.1 hours. The three highest-rated prime-time series among black audiences are "A Different World," "The Cosby Show" and "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," Nielsen said. All are on NBC and all feature blacks. "Advertisers and marketers are mainly concerned with age and income, and not race," said Doug Alligood, VP-special markets at BBDO, New York. "Advertisers and marketers target shows that have a broader appeal and can generate a large viewing audience." Mr. Alligood said this can have significant implications for general-market advertisers that also need to reach blacks. "If you are running a general ad campaign, you will underdeliver black consumers," he said. "If you can offset that delivery with those shows that they watch heavily, you will get a small composition vs. the overall audience." Hit shows -- such as ABC's "Roseanne" and CBS' "Murphy Brown" and "Designing Women" -- had lower ratings with black audiences than with the general population because "there is very little recognition that blacks exist" in those shows.

  • Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice Across Decades
    Home > Vol 21, No 5 (2018) > Ford Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice across Decades Jessica Ford In recent years, the US television landscape has been flooded with reboots, remakes, and revivals of “classic” nineties television series, such as Full/er House (1987-1995, 2016- present), Will & Grace (1998-2006, 2017-present), Roseanne (1988-1977, 2018), and Charmed (1998-2006, 2018-present). The term “reboot” is often used as a catchall for different kinds of revivals and remakes. “Remakes” are derivations or reimaginings of known properties with new characters, cast, and stories (Loock; Lavigne). “Revivals” bring back an existing property in the form of a continuation with the same cast and/or setting. “Revivals” and “remakes” both seek to capitalise on nostalgia for a specific notion of the past and access the (presumed) existing audience of the earlier series (Mittell; Rebecca Williams; Johnson). Reboots operate around two key pleasures. First, there is the pleasure of revisiting and/or reimagining characters that are “known” to audiences. Whether continuations or remakes, reboots are invested in the audience’s desire to see familiar characters. Second, there is the desire to “fix” and/or recuperate an earlier series. Some reboots, such as the Charmed remake attempt to recuperate the whiteness of the original series, whereas others such as Gilmore Girls: A Life in the Year (2017) set out to fix the ending of the original series by giving audiences a new “official” conclusion. The Roseanne reboot is invested in both these pleasures. It reunites the original cast for a short-lived, but impactful nine-episode tenth season.

  • Forecasting with Twitter Data: an Application to Usa Tv Series Audience
    L. Molteni & J. Ponce de Leon, Int. J. of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics. Vol. 11, No. 3 (2016) 220–229 FORECASTING WITH TWITTER DATA: AN APPLICATION TO USA TV SERIES AUDIENCE L. MOLTENI1 & J. PONCE DE LEON2 1Decision Sciences Department, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy. 2Target Research, Milan, Italy. ABSTRACT Various researchers and analysts highlighted the potential of Big Data, and social networks in particular, to optimize demand forecasts in managerial decision processes in different sectors. Other authors focused the attention on the potential of Twitter data in particular to predict TV ratings. In this paper, the interactions between television audience and social networks have been analysed, especially considering Twitter data. In this experiment, about 2.5 million tweets were collected, for 14 USA TV series in a nine-week period through the use of an ad hoc crawler created for this purpose. Subsequently, tweets were classified according to their sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) using an original method based on the use of decision trees. A linear regression model was then used to analyse the data. To apply linear regression, TV series have been grouped in clusters; clustering is based on the average audience for the individual series and their coefficient of variability. The conclusions show and explain the existence of a significant relationship between audience and tweets. Keywords: Audience, Forecasting, Regression, Sentiment, TV, Twitter. 1 INTRODUCTION Many authors in these years highlighted the potential of Big Data in general to support better quantitative forecasting approaches to economic data. In particular, a recent and very interesting work from Hassani and Silva [1] summarized the problems and potential of Big Data forecasting.

  • Math in the Media: Syndicated Programming
    Math in the Media: Syndicated Programming Math In The Media Syndication Ratings: Talk Shows, Game Shows Finish Season Strong First-Run Strips Gear Up for Sept. 10 Season Premieres By Paige Albiniak — Broadcasting & Cable, 9/5/2007 The 2006-07 syndication season came to a close in the week ending Aug. 26, with talk and game shows hitting a high note while most first-run strips prepared for their Sept. 10 season premieres. In talk, the week’s big winner was NBC Universal’s The Martha Stewart Show, which will also begin running in primetime on Scripps’ Fine Living Sept. 10. The show gained 11% to a 1.0 household rating, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s thanks in part to a 1.2 rating after Donny Osmond appeared Aug. 21. Warner Bros.’ Ellen also had a good showing, jumping 7% to a 1.6. Ellen kicked off her fifth season Tuesday with an appearance by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.). That show, which aired from New York, averaged a 2.5 rating/7 share in 55 metered markets. That’s up 19% from Ellen’s September 2006 launch, at a 2.1/6, and up 39% from her 1.8/6 average lead-in. The third-largest gain in talk went to NBC Universal’s Maury, which jumped 5% to a 2.1. Among the top three, CBS’ Oprah was flat at a 4.4; CBS’ Dr. Phil was down 5% to a 3.5; and Disney-ABC’s Live with Regis and Kelly dropped 10% to a 2.6 with a week of “repackaged” episodes.

Kathryn Bonella, the producer, informed Dr Wexler on her arrival for the interview that the subject was a little different from what Dr Wexler was thinking. The subject was still to be about extractions and early treatment but not about the material that so much time had been spent on, over the phone with Ms Bonella, namely Dr Rondeau and his views about Australian Orthodontists. 2. Before the recording began, but while Dr Wexler was facing Mr Overton and while the cameraman was getting ready, Dr Wexler asked to be told the questions. Mr Overton provided two and revealed he had a few surprises to spring including photos that Ms Bonella firmly directed him NOT to reveal until the interview was rolling. OVERTON: GEOFF WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PERCEPTION IS AMONGST THE MUMS AND DADS OF THE OF THE SCHOOL KIDS IN THE PLAY GROUND IS OF ORTHODONTICS? DR WEXLER: PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN HEALTH AND BEAUTY THESE DAYS, MORE AND MORE THAN EVER, THEY ARE BOMBARDED WITH IMAGES OF IT.
