Charlotte's TV Viewing Habits

[DigitalSky]

In Mark Washburn's column today, he compared the viewing habits of Charlotte's TV Market to those of the national average. It's safe to say that NBC does not do as well locally as it does nationally, and Fox probably does better here.

Here are the numbers

The right numbers are the *local* averages, and the parantheses are the *national* averages.

1. "American Idol," 8 p.m. Tuesdays, Fox. (No. 2)

2. "American Idol," 9 p.m. Wednesdays, Fox. (No. 3)

3. "Desperate Housewives," 9 p.m. Sundays, ABC. (No. 4)

4. "CSI," 9 p.m. Thursdays, CBS. (No. 1)

5. "Survivor: Palau," 8 p.m. Thursdays, CBS. (No. 5)

6. "Lost," 8 p.m. Wednesdays, ABC. (No. 13)

7. "House," 9 p.m. Tuesdays, Fox. (No. 34)

8. "24," 9 p.m. Mondays, Fox. (No. 31)

9. "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition," 8 p.m. Sundays, ABC. (No. 20)

10. "ER," 10 p.m. Thursdays, NBC. (No. 10)

12. "The O.C.," 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fox.(No. 75)

The fact that the OC's is 12th should be embarrassing.......I feel ashamed that perhaps we are the market that has kept it on the air.....
