The revolution has begun. Though I am sure FOX mosly does that because their same-day numbers are terrible for almost every show that is not called "Empire".

The other networks may as well do the same.

If this means "Scream Queens" gets a second season and "Sleepy Hollow" gets a fourth :thumbsup:

Note this means overnight ratings will still be available, Fox just won't be "emphasizing" them.

This is not revolution. When CW starts beating you, you just get desperate I guess.

^ You might be right about the reason why they did this, but it is overdue that all networks start doing that.

Not really. Sure, maybe more people actually watch shows than same day ratings would suggest, but it's still the same ratio for the most part. Scream Queens doesn't suddenly become hit with Live +3 or Live +7 ratings. Yes. It adds 2 million viewers let's say. But so do the other shows. No ratings system can propel a certain show from a ratings bomb to ratings hit.

But it does make a difference when a show is on the fence. Also, did you see this season's ratings? What's their use now? Either, you can say, people just do not care aout TV shows anymore or they watch them differently. I want to gauge a popularity of a TV show and the same-day ratings do no longer provide that information, IMO. According to them, all but 3-4 shows are unpopular.

If it's on the fence it's more likely the decision on its renewal will be based on some other factor (overseas sales, syndication, if the production costs can be cut down...).

They're probably already using C+3 and C+7 ratings anyway. The L+3 and L+7 are just numbers that make a show look better. They can't sell ads based on those. FOX is just using PR machine here. And they need it.

This sounds like pure PR. The ratings will still be released by other sources and Fox doesn't get to decide which numbers decide the ad sales. Fox just wants people to pay attention to the DVR numbers cause they sound better

Fox is getting sued by its own show http://deadline.com/2015/11/fox-sued-bo ... 201637181/
