Some Broadcast Subdemos: Week Ending February 6, 2022
These days, sub-demographic ratings data for broadcast programs is not nearly as readily available as it is for cable programs. ShowBuzzDaily obviously posts 8 different sub-demos daily for the top 50 cable programs, but for broadcast, they unfortunately only provide demographic shares for men & women 18-49. I see some of this data every so often, but only for the higher-rated programs, so here is a peak at some of the sub-demos for the most-recent week I have data for. If a particular sub-demo isn't included for a show then I don't have it.

Super Bowl LVI Ratings Comparisons: What is the Truth?
Network spin is nothing new, and nothing I haven't talked about in-depth before - most recently in regards to HBO and "Euphoria." However, there really isn't anything quite like Super Bowl-spin. It being by far the most-watched event of the year, its ratings are reported in basically any and every U.S. news publication you can think of, and this reporting is often lifted directly from the network press release. NBC's press release is actually not bad as it's pretty transparent with the ratings; my only qualm is with the historical comparisons.
Looking at the linear TV viewership, Nielsen reported 99.178 million viewers for the game, and NBC does acknowledge this figure in their release - rounding it to an even 99.2 million. Nielsen also reported, and NBC acknowledges, an additional 1.91 million viewers on Spanish-language network Telemundo. Together, this is a linear TV total of about 101.09 million viewers. All of that is fine. The issue comes with how the streaming audience is integrated into their Total Audience Delivery (TAD) figure.

Ratings for the 2022 AFC & NFC Championship Games
While we await the ratings for Super Bowl LVI, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the numbers from the 2 conference championship games from 2 weeks ago. To begin, 2022 marked the third straight year of the NFC game beating the AFC game (2020, 2021, 2022) in total viewership after the AFC game dominated the previous four years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019). Detailed breakdowns are provided for each game below:

Top Streaming (SVOD) Ratings: w/e Dec. 19, 2021 - w/e Jan. 16, 2022
I have not done as good a job at keeping up with posting the weekly Nielsen streaming ratings as I would've liked to, so here are the charts for the most-recent five weeks of data. Even if/when the weekly posts are delayed, I always update the individual show charts which are located in the "Streaming Archive" under the "Ratings Archive Directory" tab.
Per usual, the charts below includes the top 10 original programs, top 10 movies, and top 10 acquired programs from Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ measured on total minutes of watch-time. The data represents only viewing within the U.S. and comes from Nielsen Media Research.
It has been a very strong five weeks on streaming with a number of 2 billion+ minute performances. First, Netflix debuted the second season 'The Witcher' Dec. 17th, and it ranked atop the chart for 2 straight weeks with 2.19 billion minutes in its first 3 days of availability and an additional 2.73 billion the week after. It likely would've remained atop the chart for a few more weeks had it not been for the fourth-season drop of 'Cobra Kai' which delivered 2.43 billion minutes in its first 3 days (week ending Jan. 2) and held at #1 among originals the following 2 weeks. Both dwarfed the second-season launch of 'Emily in Paris' which had 938 million in its first 5 days and 1.11 billion the week after. Among movies, the story of the last 2 months has been Disney+'s 'Encanto' which logged its first full week at an impressive 2.2 billion minutes and then spent the next two weeks at just around 1.5 billion (leading among all streaming programs in the w/e Jan. 16). Finally, among acquired programming, 'Cocomelon' reached 11 straight weeks at #1 before finally (and likely temporarily) being dethroned by 'NCIS'.
