CountFrylock Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 some think that's good because now we can just watch the block without worrying about stupid little numbers that are irrelevant to us...... but to me since The MHA Promotion was vaguely hinted at being a test(depending on well it does in viewership numbers) being completely left in the dark on the performance of it isn't good at all I Don't like The Nielsen Ratings System but it was the only numbers we had public access to regarding toonami and now without those numbers We now depend on whatever info jason demarco feels like tweeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a total boomer goof mistake. They never backed up their website! It's making it hard to get some ratings for wrestling too. Funny shit.

According to Bronx, the networks have cracked down on ratings data so Programming Insider doesn't post Saturday cable ratings anymore. ShowBuzzDaily supposedly still gets the info but they borked their website and haven't been able to post anything for weeks. It might be the end of an era but rather than fret about things all we need to do is watch the block, talk about it on social media (especially when it's airing) and let other people know the block is airing. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmpressAngel Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Okay, so from what I can gather, Toonami actually hasn't changed how and if they make rating information available, but some third-party site that has no official affiliation with Toonami has gone down for unrelated reasons and is no longer reporting on it. Is that the issue? Not every single minor problem that's vaguely related to the block is some dark harbinger of impending doom. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) I am finding limited cable ratings online for wrestling shows. It's not Toonami, but it's SOMETHING! AEW drew 526K on Friday night, May 28th at 10 PM, its lowest rating ever. But June 4th's numbers in Week 2 of NBA Preemption look to be even lower. However, AEW gets its normal Wednesday night timeslot back this week so numbers may improve. Edited June 7, 2021 by OwlChemist81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In current times most (legal) viewership is counted in some manner. It's not as cut and dry as "Nielsen or nothing" anymore but a good many slim packages have data collected specifically by Nielsen unless you choose to opt out of data collection. And trending on social media absolutely is a metric that matters. It's how Jason and can show his bosses tangible evidence that a lot of people are engaging in the block every week. If we're all in agreement that cable ratings data has shown a steady decline but can also see that Toonami has been granted funds to produce original content and continue to acquire popular anime, you gotta figure they can see the viewership that isn't apparent in the cable ratings data that is posted publicly. Adult Swim doesn't tend to throw money at sinking ships. So have a little faith that your viewership does matter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
