I always find the stories on which network won the night an interesting proposition.
As an advertiser and a marketer, I buy the best and most efficient shows to hit my target audience across all networks.
As a viewer, I watch the shows that I want to watch.
Never do I buy or watch based on who is # 1 in the market or # 1 on any given day.
Does anyone actually care about these PR stories ?
Does it actually drive business for the networks or does it just allow them to increase their spot prices [which are all discounted anyway] ?
