Good to see that the ratings are holding steady, and even rising a bit. Hooray for CN!

[Reply #2 on:]

Look like they rose a bit from last month. Good for Cn, and Futurama.

[Reply #3 on:]

They're some good ratings (but i still don't understand what the numbers all mean).

[Reply #4 on:]

ill explain. let's take #3 -

#3 - Futurama - "The Lesser of Two Evils" - April 24 - 2.3/4 (1905)

2.3 = 2.3% of everyone in the US who owns a television set was watching Futurama at this time.

4 = 4% of everyone who was watching TV at the time was watching Futurama.

1905 = 1,905,000 households were watching Futurama at the time.

Ah-ha! Thanky you.

That's a pretty high percentage of people for a small cable network running up against local news stations.

[Reply #7 on:]

small cable company???........ i think that CN is one of the larger cable companies.....
The Lesser of 2 evils......i think everyone knew that episode was airing, considering that it is one of the best Futurama episodes.......

[Reply #8 on:]

CN is owned by Turner Broadcasting, which is very large, but compared to CNN, ESPN, and HBO, CN's viewership percentage is very small

[Reply #9 on:]

Ted Turner doesn't own any cable stations anymore, CN is an AOL Time Warner property, although Ted might buy back some stuff (doubt CN is high up his list though)

[Reply #10 on:]

SQFreak is correct. Turner owns CN and AOLTW owns Turner. Doesn't matter if Ted is a part of the company or not. It still exists, it still owns CN, the end.

[Reply #11 on:]

I was under the impression that once Turner left the company earlier this year everything was under the AOLTW umbrella (actually i think that goes as far back as the the AOL/TW merger, and maybe the original TW/Turner merger from 98), does it really matter anyway since Turner himself has nothing to do with the station and calling it a "Turner Station" would just be giving it an arbitrary name?

[Reply #12 on:]

It is giving it an arbitrary name - because it is (directly) owned by Turner Broadcasting, which is owned by Time Warner Broadcasting (or something like that), which is owned by AOL Time Warner. Ted Turner isn't part of it, but he was and he gave his name to CN's parent company, Turner Broadcasting. Therefore, CN is a Turner Station.
