Definition of terms used in this report:

  • Network: For the purposes of total network mentions, the count is the total unique tweets that mention any of the shows tracked on the network or the network’s general Twitter account (e.g., @CNN).
  • Mentions During Hour or Tweets Hour: The number of tweets that mention the show during the hour specified. For shows that are repeat later in the day, the first (and often live) showing usually garners the most mentions by a significant margin.
  • Mentions During day or Tweets Day: The total number of mentions a show received from midnight to midnight, eastern time.
  • Tweet Count: The number of tweets (including retweets) that mention a show.
  • Unique Tweeters: The number of Twitter users who have sent one or more tweets mentioning a show. If a user sends more than one tweet, they still only count once.
  • Reach: A measure of the number of impressions a collection of tweets will make. For each tweet that is sent, it adds up how many people follow the person tweeting it — how many timelines that tweet will show up in. Thus, if network A has 10,000 mentions from people with an average of 10 followers, the reach will be 100,000. On the other hand, if network B has 10,000 mentions from people with an average of 100 followers, the reach will be 1,000,000. So network B has much greater reach: tweets mentioning network B will potentially be seen 10 times as often as tweets about network A.
  • Male / Female: An estimate of the demographics of a show’s audience. Note that this number is an imprecise estimate.

Cable News Twitter Ratings are still experimental. If you have any suggestions, find any errors, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at admin@socialseer.com

Cable News Twitter Ratings for Saturday, November 2, 2013

Really, CNN? Another Blackfish showing? Is this your “Who wants to be a Millionaire”? Are you going to get all your anchors to dress in wet suits?  Will Anthony Bourdain prepare treats for whales? I guess so, as long as it keeps bringing in the viewers and the engagement.

Cable News Twitter Ratings for Friday, November 1, 2013

E! News is a news show, it’s on cable, and so I include it in the ratings.  Still, I’m always surprised when something from the show bubbles up — it looks so out of place.  That’s why I was surprised to see #hottieoftheweek show up in in the top 10 hashtags! Of course, the real hottie of the week was #blackfish, but I don’t think E! was including cetaceans in their list….

Boo! Cable News Twitter Ratings for October 31, 2013

After her on-fire show on Wednesday, Megyn Kelly dropped back in the Twitter ratings Thursday while The Ed Show returned to its normal spot in first place.  Ms. Kelly has the ability, with the right topics and right guests, to spark a lively conversation and, apart from Sean Hannity who has other vehicles to reach his audience, Ms. Kelly is the most conversation provoking hosts Fox News has.  Clearly, moving her to the evening slot was a shrewd move for Fox News.

Even though her show dropped from first place, the overall chatter on Twitter still strongly favored Fox News, giving the network as a whole a rare win over its competitors.
