During the phone call between Simon and Robert Iger, ABC also faxed more detailed viewing data.
On the first day of broadcast, the number of viewers of "Who Will Be a Millionaire" reached 13.65 million, with a viewership percentage of 13%. Moreover, the core audience rating of 18 to 49 years old, which TV networks and advertisers attach most importance to, reached 5.9, which means that 5.9% of all potential viewers in North America aged 18 to 49 years old, regardless of whether they turn on the TV or not, watched last night This show. According to the total size of this group of people in North America, which is about 120 million, the specific core viewership reached 7.1 million.
All of this far exceeded ABC's previous expectations.
Due to viewing habits, the number of North American summer viewers is only 60% to 70% of that of the autumn season. Therefore, ABC set the "passing mark" for "Who Will Be a Millionaire" at 6.5 million viewers. Now, just the core audience size of 18 to 49 years old has reached this level. So, even if the viewership data for the pilot episode in the next week is still only Monday's level of 13.65 million, by the fall season, "Who Will Be a Millionaire" is destined to become a popular show with a viewership of 20 million.
Therefore, ABC executives generally began to regret not finalizing all cooperation conditions in advance. Now, although they still have a certain amount of initiative, at least it is no longer possible for Daenerys Pictures to sell this program to other television networks, but ABC wanted to secure this show, but had to pay a high price.
