Ratings Review: BIG BROTHER (Summer 2015)

Another summer, another solid year for BIG BROTHER in the ratings. Even with airing three times a week, BIG BROTHER is a solid performer all three nights for CBS. Unless they somehow "Jump the Shark," BIG BROTHER should be a summer staple for many years to come.

In the Live+SD ratings, BIG BROTHER averaged 6.18 million viewers, a 1.5 rating in Adults 18-34, a 2.0 rating in Adults 18-49, and a 2.4 rating in Adults 25-54. There were a total of 40 episodes in the 17th season.

In the Live+3 ratings, an additional 1.2 million viewers were added, plus a half a point in the A18-49 demographic. The Live+7 ratings brought the averages to a total of 7.6 million viewers (+23%) and a 2.6 rating (+30%) in the A18-49 demo.
