Also saw growth in 25-54
Added .55 million from preliminary numbers last season.

5% increase

Ratings at 8pm on Thursday since Survivor ended in May

CBS was up by 42% in 25-54 year olds

Online the launch was the most watched ever. It was up 11% compared to the year before.

That's brilliant news. Up on last years premiere (6.29m). Isn't that a first for years. I know BB7, BB8, BB9 and BB10 premieres were down on the previous season, so that's quite an acheivement

Found these:

Premiere ratings:

BB3- 9.22m
BB4- 9.69m
BB5- 9.55m
BB6- 8.47m
BB7- 7.69m
BB8- 7.40m
BB9- 7.33m
BB10- 6.29m
BB11- 6.88m

So it's the first premiere since BB4 to be up on the previous series premiere. That is a fantastic acheivement

Positive ratings again, still on the up:

Sunday July 12th Ratings

Big Brother averaged an estimated 6.76 million, but a very low 2.0 in the demo last night. The total viewers (if it holds up) was the most watched first episode of the Sunday edition ever in Big Brother! Due to Big Brother being delayed by 10 minutes, the ratings are not very accurate. Here is what CBS averaged from 8pm-9:30pm. Big Brother aired from 8:11pm-9:11pm 8:00pm. Viewers: 7.40 million (#1), A18-49: 1.9/ 7 (#1) 8:30 p.m. Viewers: 6.12 million (#1), A18-49: 2.0/ 6 (#1) 9:00 p.m. Viewers: 5.75 million (#1), A18-49: 1.2/ 4 (#2)

Here was the ranking of shows in Big Brother's time slot.

Big Brother 6.76 million 2.0/7 CBS (Estimated)
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ® 4.99 million 1.3/4 ABC
Merlin 3.65 million .9/3 NBC
The Simpsons ®/King of the Hill ® 3.45 million 1.7/6 Fox (Average for the hour)
Movie: Hoosiers 1.07 million .3/1 CW

The Top 5 of the day in total viewers

1. 60 minutes 6.89 million CBS (Estimated)
2. Big Brother 6.76 million CBS (Estimated)
3. Without a Trace ® 5.97 million CBS (Estimated)
4. Cold Case ® 5.62 million CBS (Estimated)
5. Meteor (Mini Series) 5.04 million NBC

The top of the day in demos
1. Family Guy ® 2.1 Fox
2. Big Brother 2.0 CBS (Estimated)
3. The Simpsons ® 1.9 Fox (9:30pm)
4. The Simpsons ® 1.8 Fox (8pm)
5. King of the Hill ® 1.5 Fox

These ratings are definitely an improvement compared to last season. Big Brother 10 launched last season on a Sunday and were the ratings.

6.29 million viewers and 2.1. So the demos dropped slightly, but the viewers were much higher.

A better comparison is the second Sunday episode from last season.

5.77 million viewers and 1.9 in the demos.

Here are the first Sunday ratings from BB9, BB8, and BB7

BB9: 6.73 million and 2.2
BB8: 5.93 million and 2.1
BB7: 5.832 million and 2.1

That's extremely good for BB. Only lost 0.12m on the premiere. Hope the rest of this series performs as well. Hopefully that means BB12 will be on the way. Early days yet though...

The show tonight will take a rating dip as it usually does. America's Got Talent (NBC) and So You Think You Can Dance (Fox) traditionally pull better numbers than CBS on Tuesdays. It's also an hour later than Sunday and Thursday shows.

BB12 is a given. BB makes CBS a lot of money--costs are next to nothing to run the show.

BB12 is confirmed. Please don't ask for source. (Janelle told me) It's already got a green light.

Can I ask, what is this 2.0 business about? I understand what a demographic is, but I dont get the 2.0... Is it a percentage or a number out of 10 or something?

It's the percentage of people in that demographic who were watching, I think

Yes, you are correct. There is complied demo ratings and then separate. I'm not sure which I'm looking at. BB is running the demo's. That's good.

5 minutes and counting

Fast National Overnights Ratings

CBS: "Big Brother 11" (6.4 million viewers, 4.1/8 households)
FOX: "Bones" rerun (5.2 million, 3.3/6)
ABC: "Grey's Anatomy" rerun (3.38 million, 2.4/4)
NBC: "30 Rock" rerun (3.79 million, 2.6/6)/"Parks and Recreation" rerun (3 million, 2.0/4)
The CW: "Smallville" rerun (1.3 million, 0.9/2)

18-49 leader: "Big Brother 11" (2.0)

CBS on the whole won the entire night. FOX got a slight edge ahead in key demographics for the night but by a really small fraction.

That's a season high so far. Hopefully they continue to rise now that the powers have shifted and with the Coup d'etat and stuff.

Tuesday August 4th Ratings

Big Brother saw growth in both total viewers and demos vs last week last night. 6.58 million tuned (6.16 last week) and 2.4 (2.1) last week. The 2.4 was also a season high!

BB11 hit a season high last night in overall viewers and in demos:

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire returned to the prime-time airwaves for the first time in 5 years, and to celebrate its 10 year anniversary with the first of 11 episodes over the next two weeks. I thought Millionaire would do better, but I thought wrong. Millionaire averaged 6.988 million and a 1.6/5 (rating/share) with adults 18-49. Big Brother averaged 7.20 million and a 2.5/8 with adults 18-49.

But NBC won the night overall with a repeat hour of Dateline and Sunday Night Football exhibition game featuring the Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans. In the 8pm hour, against Millionaire and Big Brother, the game averaged 8.12 million viewers and a 2.9/8 with adults 18-49.

The debut of ABC’s Shark Tank kind of tanked. Tank averaged 4.23 million at 9pm and a 1.3/4 with adults 18-49.

Meanwhile ABC’s Defying Gravity slipped further into obscurity averaging a mere 2.805 million and a 1.0/3 with adults 18-49 at 10pm.

I’ll try to work in the rest of the show data below later, check back…

Shows are sorted from highest 18-49 rating to lowest in each time slot.

Great to see this season is doing well, even though most of the likeable houseguests have already been evicted.

BB11: 6.59 million 2.1
BB10: 6.26 million 2.1
BB9: 6.1 million 2.3

Excellent numbers for Big Brother! It was the most watched Big Brother in total viewers since 4/13/08 during Big Brother 9, when it aired following the Master's. In 18-49 year olds, it was the most watched BB episode since the season 8 finale on 9/18/07.
That is fantastic. You see, Big Brother can still bring ratings. Shame Channel 4 have no idea how to produce an enjoyable, entertaining show. BBUSA is proving how the format can still work.
