CN Ratings Thread: Part 14

Why dont they just have the DC Nation air in primetime rather than Saturday Mornings

Why should they? DC Nation is doing pretty good on Saturday mornings. Will airing it at primetime give it better ratings than Saturday mornings? Or is it so that you won't have to wake up before 10:00 am to watch it?

Since it doesn't do too good with K6-11, having it at another time than 10am on Saturdays would make sense.

If the goal is to get 6-11 kids watching you'd think Saturday mornings at 10AM (not too late and not too early) would be a great time slot. The problem is and always has been, the competition at the time is some of the highest rated episodes of SpongeBob every week and reruns of Disney's Friday cartoon premieres on top of that.

A low competition night could yield better ratings for DC Nation than Saturday mornings against such fierce competition. At least theoretically. Friday night was worse for action because of Disney Channel and Nick at the time but Wednesday or Thursday would do great as proven by NinjaGo which was not only an action show (also a comedy) but one with a serial storyline that continued from episode to episode proving kids don't hate action cartoons with a story or some level of depth to them contrary to popular belief.

Alright, that makes sense. Less competition, more ratings. In that case, I think putting DC Nation in a nighttime timeslot would be a good idea.

The one problem with that is they can probably get better 6-11 ratings with reruns of their comedies on those nights so that's what they do instead... at least when they're not trying to make another questionable live-action show work for them.

I don't mind the live-action shows. There's only like, two of them at the moment (and from what I've been hearing about Level Up, soon to be just one). Compared to the amount of animated shows, two live-action shows is not a big deal as that's a tiny amount.

Also, I like comedies as I enjoy having a laugh every now and then. As I said, DC Nation is doing pretty well in its current timeslot and I don't think it will suffer much from not being in another timeslot.

Lmfao at regular show.

 

[RockmanDash]

Heh, even The Annoying Orange can find more ratings than Incredible Crew. Alright CN, time for you guys to get the message now. : )

 

[TheCtes]

Man, imagine Young Justice on a weekday evening.

 

[Dynamite Soldier]

Young Justice should at least get a weekday slot in the mornings now that ratings are pretty decent lately.

 

[Gold Guy]

Young Justice gets some of the best ratings on Saturday mornings. It deserves more slots.

 

[TheCtes]

We haven't seen the ratings for K6-11 in a while, but I remember DC Nation doing pretty bad with that audience even though the total viewers were really good. This might explain why CN is treating them like that.

 

[ChildHood90s]

The ratings for YJ proves it's worth to the network, and they at least know that the show has developed an audience by this point. How I'd wish for YJ to be getting another season on CN, I at least hope YJ gets to keep a rerun slot. Maybe it can take Star War's slot.

 

[Sketch]

I don't really want YJ to just get a weekend morning rerun slot. If it gets a rerun slot on CN proper and not just Boomerang or Toonami then I would hope for weekday mornings for a while. Even if it was at 6:30AM or something like that. Taking it off right after it finishes or just doing some reruns on DC Nation until other shows replace it is not how I want to see the show get phased out.

I really wish we could see the kids' ratings for YJ and GL lately because we'll probably never know if this recent ratings improvements have been with more than adults.

It's such a shame that even though CN even has a part of the network dedicated to airing shows for adults there is no bright future for an action show that does better with adults than kids. That's tremendously wasted potential but I suppose the cost of producing more episodes is too great for the Adult Swim original production budget. Warner Bros and Turner really should be taking more advantage of the growing market of older fans of action animation and DC comics and make a show for Adult Swim or take one that airs outside of Adult Swim but gets good adult ratings and retool it for Adult Swim.

Will Son of the Bronx post the ratings for the other new level up episode

 

[Ace]

Level Up's "funeral party" was a bust. Gumball and Looney Tunes are taking new slots, bring pushed an half hour forward, with Level Up out the picture. Dragons isn't doing so hot but we've seen it do much better, CN hasn't really added many promos for it lately. Annoying Orange's ratings continue to be low. Great job for the Ice Age: The Meltdown premiere. I'm curious on how the Fionna and Cake special did.
Other than that I think now would be the time for CN to start putting out more promotional efforts on Tuesday's and on other days of the week.
