Due to a “technical error” that has existed since early March, Nielsen will be reissuing ratings for all network TV fall broadcasts. The channel most likely to be affected is ABC, several network TV insiders told TheWrap.
While fast national ratings remained accurate, the final Live + Same Day numbers have been getting slightly erroneous boosts. ABC was the main benefactor of the faux lifts, and thus is the most likely network to see some shows come back down slightly.
That said, it doesn’t sound like any positioning will be changed in terms of overall standings.
