SATURDAY NIGHT DIAMOND GIRLS HITS 17 MILLION VIEWERS

UNO LAUNCHES OFF STRONGLY

NBA & NHL IMPACT GROWTH OF RATINGS FOR COMPETING NETWORKS

According to ratings analysts the Paramount Pretty comedies on ICE success can be attributed to three different things with the first one being the ICE actors making a name successfully for themselves in the studio battles, the second one is that the whole lineup has an identity with live comedies starring young and up coming actors, and the last one is that ICE made a crucial move a month after the reboot that turned their early struggle for ratings around when they decided to take over Saturdays which was wide opened at the time.

ICE is ran by very smart people and Pat Devine is a special dude in his position as he's got the Phederation operated as a well oiled machine with a roster full of young beautiful women. ICE knows their audience and they take advantage of that by using that factor grow new viewers while the other other networks continue to struggle to find an identity. ICE also knows their competition very well and attacks. ICE is the definition of a true predator network and its scary to see how powerful this network is going to get next season.

ROD is also ran by smart people as they pretty much own second place right now and for the first time ever they broadcasted NHL Hockey which did very well for them leading into a special presentation of Just Eve which is starting to become one of NITRO's top comedies. Nicole Gale Anderson and Romeo Miller are starting to turn into NITRO's most popular actors.

SBC is another studio that benefits off of the studio battles with the NITRO War as their ratings have been way up lately and tonight was no different except they had some help from NBA Basketball as they were the first NITRO network to broadcast NBA action. SBC very intelligently took advantage of the Miami Heat lead-in by placing a special timeslot presentation of Mean Girls right after the game leading into Gabby's new popular variety series.

The signing of Harriet Stanford may prove to be a good one as Harriet is quickly becoming one of their top 5 stars as the news about her signing to Dangerous Blood for the second season finally gave that show the boost that it deserves. The story of the night for them continues to be Woodsboro Murders which is just killing every other drama airing on Saturdays at 10pm every week.

DV may want to look at signing Hayden Panettiere when she goes on the free agent block and adding her into the Woodsboro Murders.

TCC is a great example for the new NITRO new networks who are trying to fit into these ratings races at how you make changes to improve your network. TCC has come a long way from that first week back in early March. TCC is now consistently one of the most competitive networks every night and pretty soon we could see them up there with DV and ROD on a consistent basis and separating themselves from the bottom feeders. Millionaires is starting to become the top hit of that lineup.

UNO just like EBC is launching their network this week and they made a smart move by setting up a live broadcast to celebrate their network which gave new comedy-drama Stella & Kevin a boost. Stella & Kevin is going to become a great alternative for Saturday viewers. Chicks will love this show and this bodes well for a potential Ladies Night lineup for women who stay in on Saturdays with Chelsea Handler closing the night out.

UNO is going to make things very difficult on the other networks as the fight for viewers is fierce right now.

EBC's first week is full of mixed results and it can't be good for the network to fall behind their new rival network UNO on that network's very first night. EBC is going to be a busy network as their going to have to make a ton of cancellation and learn from their competition what rates well in NITRO. The first cancellation will be Mark Foster's late night show which needs to get pulled from the schedule immediately as it is really sinking EBC's network average. It's hard to air talk shows every night in prime time and as we see there's some talk shows that perform well when airing on a weekly basis like Alexa Chung over at SBC.

Overall, Saturday is NITRO's top night of the week this season as there's so many viewers wanting to watch TV.
