A lot of people are stuck at home. Hmmm. Wonder what's on the tube? From Cincinnati OH station WKRC Local 12:
Shut-in TV viewers push 'Let's Make a Deal' to record rating
Shut-in television viewers tuned in to the game show “Let's Make a Deal” in record numbers last week.
TV programs across the dial recorded superlatives last week with a captive audience of millions of Americans told to stay home because of the coronavirus. Few were as interesting as the newfound fervor for CBS' “Let's Make a Deal,” which recorded its most-watched week since the show was brought back 11 years ago with Wayne Brady as host, the Nielsen company said.
Viewers also gave “The Price is Right,” now hosted by Drew Carey, its biggest audience in four years, Nielsen said.
It was also a terrific week for television uber-producer Dick Wolf, whose Windy City-based trilogy of dramas dominates NBC's lineup. Excluding special crossover episodes, “Chicago Fire” recorded its most popular episode in six years, while “Chicago Med” and “Chicago PD” had their largest audiences in four years, Nielsen said.
Advertisers must be happy - more bang for their buck until the networks raise their rates.
