Nielsen ratings

Ever wonder what shows are most popular? As of february 17th the top ten most popular shows in the United States mostly have to do with the Olympics. Why is this? Well, probably because the olympics are a big event for the U.S. and many other countries. Dominating in the top eight spots are the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. The viewers varied from about 12,000 to just over 23,000. Coming in ninth place, is Criminal Minds with just over 10,000 viewers. Last but not least, is NCIS. NCIS pulled in almost 10,000 viewers. The nielsen ratings website updates weekly, so if you ever want to know what the most well-known television check out that website. If you want to look up the most popular shows among African Americans you can. Right now, rating number one among the African Americans is CSI, with almost 1,500 viewers. There is also, shows among Hispanics. The Nielsen ratings don't just tell you what show is most popular in the present, but also back to shows that are off air or cancelled now. You'd be suprised with what you find out on the website. Personally, I used the Nielsen ratings website before, and it was very helpful.
