Ratings: syndies hardly budge

Four out of the five syndie game shows were flat for the latest week. The other show dropped a couple tenths. Guess which one. Okay, I'll tell you, as TV News Check posts the ho-hum household ratings for July 30-August 5...

Family Feud 6.3 - flat
Wheel of Fortune 5.4 - flat
Jeopardy 5.4 - down a couple ticks, it was the one
Millionaire 1.5 - flat
Funny You Should Ask 0.5 - for one more time, flat

More of the same solid numbers for GSN. 439K/288K viewers prime time/total day for the week of August 6-12. The network ranked 32nd and 28th in the windows.

As the previous entry noted, GSN has renewed America Says for a jumbo-sized season of 95 eps. In the press release GSN said that the show built on its lead-in by 26% and bettered its YTD timeslot demo in women 25-54 by more than 40%. I can believe all this based on the ratings from Show Buzz Daily. For instance, on Monday August 13 America Says drew 379K viewers and a 0.05 18-49 rating. This is good business for our little game show network in the afternoon. The demo numbers are important because GSN always dreads the Old Skew.
