The DVR Numbers Are In!

by Debbie

villainslogo As expected, Heroes has shown a big increase in viewers when the DVR numbers are counted. Statistics for the first week of the television season have been released and, for week 1, Heroes was NBC’s biggest gainer, with its adult 18-49 rating jumping by 20 percent (to a 6.05 rating from a 5.05). In all, NBC had nine primetime telecasts that week that generated double-digit gains in 18-49 rating going from “live plus same day” to “live plus seven,” the most for any major network ahead of Fox (eight), CBS (seven) and ABC (four).

Among the NBC premiere-week shows that added more than 1 million total viewers in this transition were Heroes (12.018 million vs. 10.150 million, an increase of 1.868 million), The Office (10.914 million vs. 9.393 million, an increase of 1.521 million), ER (9.317 million vs. 8.057 million, an increase of 1.260 million) and Law & Order: SVU (10.902 million vs. 9.698 million, an increase of 1.204 million).

    I know some fans missed episodes due to work. A few DVR’d it; others have had to watch on line.
