Last Sunday’s premiere of ‘Worst Cooks in America’ with Alex Guarnaschelli as co-host/mentor broke some records, none of them good: it was the lowest rated non-celebrity season premiere ever (even lower than Alton Brown’s), the lowest rated premiere ever in demo and the lowest rated premiere on the show's current Sunday night timeslot. It’s also the second lowest rated premiere ever, being the lowest celebrity Season 11 with Rachael Ray co-hosting (1.13M/0.39 on Wednesday, August 23, 2017). As always, the premiere doesn’t represent a general trend for the entire season, especially now with news programming getting big audience chunks out of some cable channels, so we’ll see how the show performs in the coming weeks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (June 15-21, 2020) * Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---WORST COOKS IN AMERICA (Season Premiere)--Sun 9PM--1,165,000 (0.32) THE KITCHEN REPACKAGED---Sat 11:00AM---1,088,000 (0.21) 2---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Thu 9:00PM---1,085,000 (0.19) 3---PIONEER WOMAN: HOME SWEET HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,057,000 (0.20) 4---SYMON’S DINNERS---Sun 12:30PM---951,000 (0.19) 5---VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---Sun 11:30AM---900,000 (0.14) 6---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN (Season Finale)--Sat 12:00PM--898,000 (0.18) 7---CHOPPED---Tue 9:00PM---875,000 (0.25) GIRL MEETS FARM REPACKAGED---Sun 11:00AM---869,000 (0.14) 8---GUY’S GROC.

As 'Worst Cooks' is about to start its 20th season, celebrity season #19's finale last Sunday was down 12 percent in viewers and 18% demo from last year's (1.29M/0.33 on June 2nd, 2019). Overall, 2020's 'Worst Cooks: Celebrity' was down only 1% percent in viewers and 10% demo from 2019. Last year, in the 'Buddy vs Duff' battle of single shows, Duff's 'Duff Takes the Cake' won overwhelmingly over Buddy's 'Bake You Rich'. This year, it was a different story as 'Duff Takes the Cake' premiered to disappointing numbers, down 37% in viewers and 28% demo from last season (910,000/0.25 on April 16th, 2019), while Buddy's 'Big Time Bake's premiere numbers were higher than Duff's, while not near the ratings from 'Bake You Rich's premiere (878,000/0.28 on April 15th, 2019), even with tons of promotion on most Discovery networks. Speaking of the Discovery networks, Oprah Winfrey's 'Where Do We Go From Here?' pair of specials, had dismal numbers over most of the company's group of networks and most likely and if nothing changes, would end as Food Network's lowest rated specials for the year. While continuing to be heavily promoted on other Discovery networks, 'Summer Rush' continues to flounder, losing more than half of 'Restaurant Impossible's audience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (June 8-14, 2020) * Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---WORST COOKS CELEBRITY (Season Finale)---Sun 9:00PM---1,133,000 (0.27) 2---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Thu 9:00PM---1,081,000 (0.23) 3---PIONEER WOMAN: HOME SWEET HOME---Sat 10:00AM---987,000 (0.18) 4---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES: TAKE-OUT---Fri 9:00PM---942,000 (0.23) THE KITCHEN REPACKAGED---Sat 11:00AM---938,000 (0.16) GIRL MEETS FARM REPACKAGED---Sun 11:00AM---824,000 (0.16) 5---VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---Sun 11:30AM---780,000 (0.15) 6---BAREFOOT CONTESSA---Sat 12:30PM---779,000 (0.13) 7---SYMON’S DINNERS---Sun 12:30PM---753,000 (0.14) 8---BIG TIME BAKE (Series Premiere)---Mon 9:00PM---752,000 (0.20) 9---BEAT BOBBY FLAY (Special Time)---Sun 10:30PM---704,000 (0.20) 10--DUFF TAKES THE CAKE (Season Premiere)---Mon 10:00PM---574,000 (0.18) 11--SUMMER RUSH---Thur 10:00PM---513,000 (0.14) 12--WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Coming after a highly rated ‘Restaurant Impossible’ ep., new docuseries ‘Summer Rush’ premiered to a paltry 535,000 viewers/0.16 demo, the second lowest rated new show opener of the year so far, surpassing fellow time slot occupant ‘Opening Night’ (which lasted one episode) by 2,000 viewers. Although its commendable that FN airs other type of programming so they can’t rely so heavily on Guy Fieri’s shows, their track record on docuseries/reality shows is poor: only ‘Ace of Cakes’, ‘Private Chefs of Beverly Hills’, ‘Mystery Diners’ and ‘Restaurant Stakeout’ come to mind as successes, while they've had a lot of failures over the years like: ‘Meat Men’, ‘Bama Glama’, ‘Bubba Q’, ‘Tough Cookies’, ‘Three Chocolatiers’, ‘Have Cake, Will Travel’, ‘Big Momma’s Kitchen’, ‘Family Style’, ‘Ice Brigade’, ‘The Chef Jeff Project’, ‘Texas Cake House’ and many more. 'Bakeaway Camp with Martha Stewart' ended its 4 episode season with an average 813,000 viewers/0.18 demo. Not a flop, but not impressive either, considering Stewart's name and if the network's intentions were to create a 'baking championship' franchise. 'Amy Schumer Learns to Cook' has to be one of the FN's biggest disappointments, averaging 662,000 viewers, heavily promoted among all Discovery networks with a well-known celebrity starring. Having said that, it wasn't much of a failure in terms of demo (powered mostly by young female viewers), currently standing at #7 among the 15 new shows that have premiered so far this year. In terms of viewers, it stands as the 3rd worst. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (June 1-7, 2020) * Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES: TAKE-OUT---Fri 9:00PM---1,195,000 (0.31) 2---WORST COOKS CELEBRITY---Sun 9:00PM---1,177,000 (0.30) 3---PIONEER WOMAN: HOME SWEET HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,132,000 (0.24) THE KITCHEN REPACKAGED---Sat 11:00AM---1,117,000 (0.24) 4---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Thu 9:00PM---1,095,000 (0.28) 5---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---985,000 (0.20) 6---GUY’S GROC GAMES: SINGLE AISLE GAMES--Wed 9:00PM--937,000 (0.29) 7---BAREFOOT CONTESSA---Sat 12:30PM---917,000 (0.18) 8---SYMON’S DINNERS (Series Premiere)---Sun 12:30PM---907,000 (0.21) GIRL MEETS FARM REPACKAGED---Sun 11:00AM---902,000 (0.20) 9---VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---Sun 11:30AM---890,000 (0.20) 10--BAKEAWAY CAMP W/MARTHA STEWART (Finale)--Mon 9PM--825,000 (0.19) 11--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---823,000 (0.22) 12--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---685,000 (0.21) 13--CHOPPED---Tue 9:00PM---672,000 (0.19) 14--AMY SCHUMER LEARNS TO COOK (Finale)---Mon 10:00PM---593,000 (0.18) 15--SUMMER RUSH (Series Premiere)---Thu 10:00PM---535,000 (0.16) * The Kitchen and Girl Meets Farm are being reported as originals, but they're been repackaged themed episodes; its numbers will be listed but not counted in the ranking.

'Restaurant Impossible' was the most watched show this past week. So far, its been one of the most stable shows on FN, having dropped only 5% in viewers and its even in demo from its most recent aired season. 'Questlove's Potluck' tanked, with less than 500,000 viewers and a pretty low 0.13 demo. So far, it stands as FN's least watched special of the year. --------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (May 25-31, 2020) * Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Thu 9:00PM---1,165,000 (0.24) 2---WORST COOKS CELEBRITY---Sun 9:00PM---1,144,000 (0.27) 3---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES: TAKE-OUT---Fri 9:00PM---1,144,000 (0.25) 4---PIONEER WOMAN: HOME SWEET HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,082,000 (0.19) THE KITCHEN REPACKAGED---Sat 11:00AM---1,065,000 (0.21) 5---GUY’S GROC.

In the case of 'The Kitchen', these episodes will continue airing during June and beyond, if production doesn't resume by the next couple of weeks. Although these shows numbers will be included in the ranking, they won't be numbered as part of the weekly ranking nor counted on the final tallies for the quarter.

'Restaurant Impossible's premiere was pretty stable season to season: just 4% down in viewers and demo from the previous one (1.11M/0.25 on 12/26/2019). Primetime's 'Worst Cooks: Celebrity' was the most watched show for the week, as daytime's numbers were down across the board from previous weeks, as people started to end their quarantines and some outside activities have been relaxed. Let's see if this trend continues or if it was a one week occurrence. As expected, 'Opening Night' didn't do well, just as its two pilot episodes last year, and now is FN's lowest rated new show premiere for the year, bumping 'Vegas Chef Prizefight' and 'Amy Schumer Learns to Cook'. Speaking of Schumer...week 2's ratings for her show and 'Bakeaway Camp with Martha Stewart' were up: 9 percent in viewers and 25% demo for Martha and 13% in viewers and 9% demo for Schumer, whose show once again was mostly powered by young female viewers. Two episodes in, with 726,000 viewers/0.22 average, Schumer is close to match in viewership what 'Chopped Sweets' did at this point in the timeslot (752,000/0.20) and has surpassed it in demo. While not having great numbers, it's doing better than other recent timeslot occupants like 'Family Restaurant Rivals' and 'Cupcake Championship', but trailing others like 'Duff Takes the Cake', 'Winner Cake All' and, of course, 'Christmas Cookie Challenge'. ------------------------------------------------------------------ FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (May 11-17, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---WORST COOKS CELEBRITY---Sun 9:00PM---1,222,000 (0.33) 2---PIONEER WOMAN: STAYING HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,219,000 (0.24) 3---THE KITCHEN: QUARANTINE EDITION---Sat 11:00AM---1,168,000 (0.25) 4---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES: TAKE-OUT---Fri 9:00PM---1,096,000 (0.27) 5---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,071,000 (0.21) 6---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE (Season Premiere)--Thu 9:00PM--1,070,000 (0.24) 7---VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---Sun 11:30AM---991,000 (0.19) 8---BAREFOOT CONTESSA (S.

Coming off from its lowest rated season ever, 'Worst Cooks' (without Alton Brown) returned Sunday night to its reliable ratings strength, off just a percent in viewers and 5% in demo from last celebrity season's premiere (1,370,000/0.37 on 4/22/2019). Regardless, as it happened in January, 'Worst Cooks' lost to 'The Kitchen' for top show of the week. Last night's (Mon. 5/11) two new shows had very disappointing premiere results: 'Bakeaway Camp with Martha Stewart' didn't have baking championship numbers whatsoever with just 783,000 viewers and 0.16 demo. An hour later, 'Amy Schumer Learns to Cook',with 681,000 viewers and 0.21 demo, had the second worst premiere rating of the year, after 'Vegas Chef Prizefight'. The show, which outraged FN viewers on its social media platforms ahead of the premiere, did very well with young adult women and teenage girls, reaching #13 out of the top 50 cable originals for the day. It didn't do well with men, adults 25-54 and people over 50. This week, the season premiere of the even more emotional 'Restaurant Impossible' and 'Opening Night'. As it happened last week, Robert Irvine's special 1st episode 'RI' rewatch with his wife and another installment of his pilot 'Kitchen Expedition', tanked in the ratings. As for 'Opening Night', FN isn't promoting it at all for a reason: its 2 pilot episodes were last year's lowest rated, which only wonders why the network ordered it to series. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (May 4-10, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN: QUARANTINE EDITION---Sat 11:00AM---1,402,000 (0.23) 2---WORST COOKS: CELEBRITY (Season Premiere)--Sun 9:00PM--1,356,000 (0.35) 3---PIONEER WOMAN: STAYING HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,321,000 (0.28) 4---SPRING BAKING CHAMP.

Monday 5/4's season 6’s finale of ‘Spring Baking Championship’ at 1.31 million viewers/0.29 demo was only 4 percent down in viewers and 6% demo from season 5’s (1.37M/0.31 on 5/6/2019). On average, S6 (1.29M/0.28) was even with viewers and 17% down in demo from last year's (1.28M/0.34). ‘Buddy vs Duff’s season 2 finale was down 20% in viewers and a big 28% in demo from S1 (1.86M/0.53 on 4/15/2019). After a weak start, losing a quarter of its audience and a third of its demo, by midseason, the gentler, kinder series picked up steam, ending with 1.33M/0.36, losing 15% in viewers and 20% demo from 2019 (1.57M, 0.45). Audience grew season to season (9.43 to 10.66M), but it was because S2 had 8 episodes, compared to S1’s 6 so, the additional couple episodes only brought about 600,000 viewers per episode, not that good. Robert Irvine’s ‘Restaurant Impossible’ quarantine special and his ‘Follow that Food’ like pilot called ‘Kitchen Expedition’ bombed Thursday night. We’ll see how a new special, featuring him and his wife watching the very first episode of ‘Restaurant Impossible’ does this Thursday. Also, premiering this weekend is the new season of ‘Worst Cooks: Celebrity’, followed the next day by Martha Stewart’s ‘Bakeaway Camp’ and an edgier version of ‘How to Boil Water’ titled ‘Amy Schumer Learns to Cook’, featuring the raunchy comedienne and her chef husband. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 27-May 3, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---BUDDY VS DUFF (Season Finale)---Sun 9:00PM---1,484,000 (0.38) 2---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,426,000 (0.25) 3---THE KITCHEN: QUARANTINE EDITION---Sat 11:00AM---1,353,000 (0.22) 4---PIONEER WOMAN: STAYING HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,181,000 (0.22) 5---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,171,000 (0.20) 6---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,048,000 (0.18) 7---SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---1,035,000 (0.30) 8---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES: TAKE-OUT---Fri 9:00PM---1,033,000 (0.31) 9---BEAT BOBBY FLAY (Special Time)---Sun 10:30PM---962,000 (0.25) 10--CHOPPED: BEAT THE JUDGE---Tue 9:00PM---948,000 (0.27) 11--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: BEHIND GAMES--Wed 10:00PM--941,000 (0.28) 12--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: DDD-LICIOUS BURGERS-Wed 9PM-876,000 (0.30) 13--REST.

The newest installment of ‘The Kitchen: Quarantine Edition’ beat the next to last episode of ‘Buddy vs Duff’ by a small margin. The second episode of ‘Pioneer Woman: Staying Home’ helped daytime to take 3 out of the top 5 most watched shows for the week. Given the fact that it was endlessly promoted among all Discovery networks, the first of three ‘DDD: Take-Out’ episodes, had great but not spectacular ratings Friday night, as also some regular ‘DDD’ reruns got better ratings Sunday afternoon. As last night's next to last episode of 'Spring Baking Championship' had 1.43 million viewers/0.25 demo, it's expected that this Sunday's 'Buddy vs Duff' finale will get big numbers, against more quarantine 'The Kitchen' & 'Pioneer Woman' shows. In finale news, the first season of 'Chopped: Sweets' ended last Monday night: its 12 episode season average of 745,000 viewers/0.19 demo makes it, so far, the third lo last least watched new show of the year, on top of the 'Food Network Challenge' revival and 'Vegas Chef Prizefight'. ----------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 20-26, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timelsot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN: QUARANTINE EDITION---Sat 11:00AM---1,595,000 (0.34) 2---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,551,000 (0.41) 3---PIONEER WOMAN: STAYING HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,374,000 (0.30) 4---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,324,000 (0.31) 5---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,265,000 (0.24) 6---DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES: TAKE-OUT (Premiere)-Fri 9PM-1,129,000 (0.29) 7---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,119,000 (0.22) 8---BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---1,052,000 (0.28) 9---GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: EGGS-TREME GAMES--Wed 9PM--1,020,000 (0.33) 10--THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE (Finale)---Thu 9:00PM---967,000 (0.26) 11--CHOPPED: BEAT THE JUDGE---Tue 9:00PM---925,000 (0.26) 12--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---900,000 (0.26) 13--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: BEHIND THE GAMES--Wed 10PM--887,000 (0.30) 14--CHOPPED SWEETS (Finale)---Mon 10:00PM---782,000 (0.21)

Ratings for the finale of the first spring 'Great Food Truck Race' at 967,000 viewers/0.26 demo gave it a 966,000/0.25 average for the 6 episode season, way up from the 701,000/0.21 avg. of the 'Great Food Truck Race: Holiday' but 7% down in viewers and 17% in demo from the last season that aired on Thursday nights (1.05M/0.30 in summer 2018). Given the results, people aren't willing to watch 3 seasons of 'GFTR' a year, especially during the holiday season. In ratings results for this past week...for the first time in 16 weeks, when ‘Holiday Baking Championship’ topped the weekly ratings, a prime time show was the most watched original program. Since the middle of its current run, ‘Buddy vs Duff,’ which started with severe year-to-year audience/demo declines, has been picking up steam and this past week, it got the numbers it reached on its first season. ‘The Kitchen’, which was the top show for 14 out of the past 15 weeks, wasn’t only beaten by ‘Buddy vs Duff’ but also barely by ‘Pioneer Woman’. It will be interesting to watch the ratings for this week, with the first of the ‘DDD: Takeout’ shows, new episodes of ‘Pioneer Woman: Staying Home’ and ‘The Kitchen: Quarantine Edition’, plus the next to last ‘Buddy vs Duff’ of the season. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 13-19, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timelsot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,588,000 (0.44) 2---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,413,000 (0.28) 3---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,411,000 (0.26) 4---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,240,000 (0.24) 5---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,197,000 (0.26) 6---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---1,137,000 (0.34) 7---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,134,000 (0.25) 8---BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---1,110,000 (0.30) 9---THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE---Thu 9:00PM---1,058,000 (0.29) 10--CHOPPED: BEAT THE JUDGE---Tue 9:00PM---969,000 (0.26) 11--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---966,000 (0.27) 12--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: CLEARANCE WARS--Wed 9:00PM--908,000 (0.31) 13--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: BEHIND T.

Like most of its run, 'Vegas Chef Prizefight' finished as the week's least watched original. It's 6 episode season averaged 707,000 viewers/0.17 demo; so far, its FN's least watched new show of the year and, those numbers most likely don't guarantee a second season. Meanwhile, 'Chopped's latest stunt to grab higher ratings, 'Beat the Judge' worked: the last time an episode of 'Chopped' had a million viewers or more was on March 19th, 2019. The second episode was down 15%, again to less than a million viewers. 'GGG: Behind the Games' didn't premiere to 'Tournament of Champions' numbers but, its 2nd episode was up 9% and Guy's shows, while don't get 1M+ viewers every week, get nice and consistent viewers/demos: that's why he's on FN more than 60 hours a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 6-12, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timelsot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,510,000 (0.30) 2---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,386,000 (0.38) 3---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,373,000 (0.30) 4---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,371,000 (0.26) 5---PIONEER WOMAN: STAYING HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,315,000 (0.25) 6---CHOPPED: BEAT THE JUDGE (Series Premiere)--Tue 9:00PM--1,145,000 (0.33) 7---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,034,000 (0.20) 8---BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---1,007,000 (0.26) 9---THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE---Thu 9:00PM---1,001,000 (0.25) 10--DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---983,000 (0.27) 11--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sun 12:30PM---929,000 (0.18) 12--CHOPPED SWEETS---Mon 10:00PM---907,000 (0.22) 13--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---864,000 (0.28) 14--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: BIG LEAGUE TEAMS--Wed 9:00PM--838,000 (0.27) 15--GGG: BEHIND THE GAMES (S.

Never underestimate the power of Magnolia. Sunday's 'In The Kitchen with Joanna Gaines' special topped 'The Kitchen' for FN's most watched show of the week, the first that includes ratings for the 2Q that started Wednesday. It was the first time since February 22, 2016 with an episode of 'Kids Baking Championship' (2.28M) that a show on FN was watched by 2 million viewers or more. There were other times when shows like 'Food Network Star' and 'Holiday Baking Championship' in 2017 or the 'Halloween Wars' premiere in 2018 were close of reaching the 2M mark but came short. It it weren't for the Gaines' special, 'The Kitchen' would have been the top show for the 14th week in a row as it barely beat the 'Tournament of Champions' finale. Meanwhile, 'Buddy vs Duff' has been stable this season but way off the numbers from last year and 'Vegas Chef Prizefight' next to last episode struggled again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 30-April 5, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---IN THE KITCHEN: JOANNA GAINES (Special)--Sun 12:00PM--2,090,000 (0.40) 2---THE KITCHEN: QUARANTINE EDITION---Sat 11:00AM---1,560,000 (0.29) 3---TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS (S.

'The Kitchen' was the most watched original show for the last full weekly ratings of the first quarter of 2020, its 13th week in a row. It could change next week, as the 'Tournament of Champions' season finale did 1,549,000 viewers/0.48 demo Wednesday night. It will all depend on this Saturday's episode of 'The Kitchen', related to the current quarantine. 'Spring Baking Championship' continues to pick up steam, 'Buddy vs Duff' is stalled and it isn't the roaring success it was on its first season and 'Delicious Miss Brown' ended its 2nd season as the returning show with the biggest audience/demo growth of the quarter. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 23-29, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,511,000 (0.29) 2---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,350,000 (0.26) 3---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,336,000 (0.30) 4---TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS---Wed 10:00PM---1,260,000 (0.34) 5---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,225,000 (0.21) 6---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,128,000 (0.33) 7---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN (Season Finale)---Sun 12:00PM---1,029,000 (0.21) 8---THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE---Thu 9:00PM---1,007,000 (0.25) 9---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---1,002,000 (0.28) 10--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sun 12:30PM---995,000 (0.18) 11--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: CARL RUIZ’ TRIBUTE--Wed 9:00PM--990,000 (0.30) 12--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---965,000 (0.33) 13--CHOPPED---Tue 9:00PM---903,000 (0.19) 14--VEGAS CHEF PRIZEFIGHT---Thu 10:00PM---849,000 (0.24) 15--CHOPPED SWEETS---Mon 10:00PM---848,000 (0.22) 16--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---832,000 (0.21)

‘The Kitchen’ was FN’s most watched/highest rated show in viewers for the first quarter of 2020, a first for a daytime show. In 3Q 2014 and 4Q 2016, ‘Pioneer Woman’ was barely beaten for most watched show by ‘Chopped Tournament’ (the Sunday 9P game show at the time) and ‘Clash of the Grandmas’, respectively. ‘The Kitchen’ was the most watched show every week of the quarter, beating tentpoles like ‘Worst Cooks’, ‘Kids Baking Championship’, ‘Buddy vs Duff’ and ‘Spring Baking Championship’. ‘The Kitchen’ also cracked the top 10 highest rated shows in demo 18-49, beating long running ‘GGG’, ‘Chopped’ and ‘Beat Bobby Flay’. It was a great quarter for daytime shows, as they captured 3 of the top 5 most watched shows and tied with primetime for highest rated shows in viewers with 5 shows apiece. In 1Q 2019, primetime had a 6 to 4 advantage. Daytime shows had the most audience growth and lowest audience drops, while primetime shows had the biggest audience erosion. Primetime lost 27% in demo 18-49 as the highest rated show came with 0.32, compared to ‘BVD’ and ‘WCA’, which tied with 0.44 in 1Q 2019. ‘Tournament of Champions’ came on top for new shows and it was in the top 3 among all shows in demos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1Q 2020 FOOD NETWORK MOST WATCHED SHOWS (Jan 1-Mar 31, 2020) (In Millions of Viewers, sum of all original episodes) Source: Showbuzzdaily 1---THE KITCHEN---17.64 million viewers 2---BEAT BOBBY FLAY---15.52 3---PIONEER WOMAN---13.02 4---GIRL MEETS FARM---12.40 5---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---12.22 6---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN---12.12 7---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---11.28 8---KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---10.94 9---WORST COOKS IN AMERICA---10.35 10--TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---10.22 11--CHOPPED---9.68 12--GIADA ENTERTAINS---9.50 13--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES---7.59 14--RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE: REVISITED---7.47 15--VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---7.03 16--CHOPPED SWEETS---6.61 17--RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE: BEHIND THE IMPOSSIBLE---4.98 18--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---4.97 19--TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS---4.26 20--CHOPPED CHAMPIONS---4.01 21--BUDDY VS DUFF---3.52 22--GGG’S DDD/GGG TEAM TOURNAMENT---3.19 23--GIRL SCOUT COOKIE CHAMPIONSHIP---3.06 24--VEGAS CHEF PRIZEFIGHT---2.88 25--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---2.76 26--FOOD NETWORK CHALLENGE---2.59 27--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---2.48 28--THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE---1.88 29--30 MINUTE MEALS---1.59 30---WORST COOKS: REHEATED---1.09 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1Q 2020 FOOD NETWORK AVG.

"Supermarket Stakeout" was down 6% in viewers and 12% demo. For this past week, the second episode of "Buddy vs Duff" was basically flat in viewers (up less than one percent) while demo was down 3%; also, for the 12th week in a row, "The Kitchen" was the most watched show and will be the top show in viewers for the quarter, a first for a daytime show, at least in recent years. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 16-22, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,591,000 (0.29) 2---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,319,000 (0.27) 3---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,197,000 (0.31) 4---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---1,193,000 (0.31) 5---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,187,000 (0.24) 6---TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS---Wed 10:00PM---1,111,000 (0.30) 7---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,012,000 (0.21) 8---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN---Sun 12:00PM---986,000 (0.21) 9---CHOPPED---Tue 9:00PM---913,000 (0.25) 10--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sun 12:30PM---913,000 (0.18) 11--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT (Season Premiere)--Tue 10:00PM--881,000 (0.24) 12--THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE (Premiere)---Thu 9:00PM---874,000 (0.24) 13--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: NEXT CHEFS---Wed 9:00PM---846,000 (0.25) 14--BUDDY V DUFF: BEHIND T BATTLE (Premiere)--Sun 8:00PM--778,000 (0.22) 15--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---741,000 (0.18) 16--CHOPPED SWEETS---Mon 10:00PM---738,000 (0.18) 17--VEGAS CHEF PRIZEFIGHT---Thu 10:00PM---680,000 (0.16)

Ratings for the season opener of the nicer and friendlier 'Buddy Vs Duff' were at 1.19 million viewers/0.32 demo, off 25% in viewers and demo from season 1's premiere (1.60M/0.43 on 3/10/2019). For the week, it was beaten by 'The Kitchen' (which was the network's most watched show for eleven weeks in a row), 'Pioneer Woman' and a 'DDD' rerun at 5P (1.21M); even 'Girl Meets Farm' came close to beat it too. The pre-premiere special wasn't a home-run either (965,000/0.26), compared to pre-premiere specials for other shows like 'Halloween Wars'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 9-15, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,354,000 (0.23) 2---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,257,000 (0.22) 3---BUDDY VS DUFF (Season Premiere)---Sun 9:00PM---1,191,000 (0.32) 4---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,182,000 (0.27) 5---SPRING BAKING CHAMP.

Last night's season finale of 'Restaurant Impossible' did 1.05 million viewers/0.24 demo. Out of 12 episodes, the highest rated was on Jan 23 (1.17M/0.30) and the lowest on Feb 20 (957,000/0.20); half of its episodes were watched by more than a million viewers. So far in the quarter, its the third highest rated primetime series and number one on weekday primetime; its first run episodes were watched by 11.3 million viewers total (third only to 'The Kitchen' and 'Beat Bobby Flay') and its the primetime series with the lowest drop season to season: 9% in viewers and 4% demo: one of the most consistent shows on FN. Episode two of the newest primetime shows had better results: 'Tournament of Champions' (or 'Guy's Iron Chef') at 1.06M/0.27 was up 25% in viewers and 12% in demo from its premiere; it improved 'GGG's rating (772,000/0.22) by 36% in viewers and 22% demo, so people were interested in the competition and the competitors, not neccesarily on Guy. Meanwhile, Anne Burrell's 'Vegas Chef Prizefight' at 697,000/0.19 improved modestly in viewers (7%), but had a nice 46% increase in demo. Still to premiere this quarter are: 'Buddy vs Duff 2', 'Supermarket Stakeout' and 'Great Food Truck Race'. For this past week, 'The Kitchen' was by a small margin the most watched show for the week for the tenth week in a row. Most likely, it will be topped by Sunday's 'Buddy vs Duff'. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 2-8, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,179,000 (0.21) 2---KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,158,000 (0.25) 3---WORST COOKS IN AMERICA (Season Finale)---Sun 9:00PM---1,153,000 (0.31) 4---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,022,000 (0.14) 5---KIDS BAKING CHAMP (S.

For the sixth week in a row, ‘The Kitchen’ was FN’s most watched show for the week. Winter cornerstones ‘Worst Cooks in America’ & ‘Kids Baking Championship’ have dropped 30 percent in viewers and 40 percent demo between them; the aging game shows (‘Chopped’, ‘GGG’ and ‘Beat Bobby Flay’) have shed 20% in viewers and 30% demo from first quarter 2019. This year’s new shows are getting OK ratings (‘Girl Scout Cookie Challenge’ dropped 20% in viewers from its premiere) but neither one its catching on so far. ‘Restaurant Impossible’ and ‘DDD’ remain primetime’s brightest spots.

Another week, another strong showing from Food Network’s daytime shows: 4 out of the top 5 shows. For the first time ever, ‘The Kitchen’ was FN's most watched program for the entire month of January. Usually, it’s a battle between ‘Worst Cooks’ and ‘Kids Baking Championship’ to reach that position but, so far, these two shows have experienced massive total viewer/demo erosions: ‘Worst Cooks’ has lost 30% in viewers and 41% in demo from winter 2019 while ‘Kids’ is down 26% in viewers and 43% demo. At this point, the only consistent prime time shows have been ‘Restaurant Impossible’ and ‘DDD’, as ‘Chopped’, ‘Beat Bobby Flay’ (which was moved to Sundays) and ‘GGG’ are also suffering huge double digit declines from their 2019 1st quarter numbers. FN's first new/old show for 2020, 'Food Network Challenge's revival, averaged 736,000 viewers/0.19 demo, thanks to its 1.1 million/0.27 demo ratings from its premiere. After that, it was mostly a dud, with its remaining five episodes fluctuating between 521,0000-711,000 viewers and 0.13-0.23 demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (Jan. 27-Feb. 2, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,414,000 (0.22) 2---KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,189,000 (0.25) 3---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,131,000 (0.19) 4---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,073,000 (0.19) 5---VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---Sun 11:30AM---1,038,000 (0.19) 6---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,000,000 (0.20) 7---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---979,000 (0.27) 8---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN---Sun 12:00PM---967,000 (0.17) 9---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Thur 9:00PM---957,000 (0.23) 10--REST.
