While an increase would be nice, I was expecting it to drop after the hiatus, like Supergirl did, so holding steady is good imo. The fact that both Arrow and Flash were ok with their ratings after the small hiatus while Supergirl crushed is interesting. 1 Link to comment

Velocity23 April 27, 2017 Share April 27, 2017 Yeah both CW shows lost 100k viewers in finals so i think there was a preemption. And Arrow beat Supergirl in the 18-34 again. 1 Link to comment

statsgirl May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 Men 18 - 49 stayed the same. That's the first yellow bar I've seen for Arrow in a long time. (Curious that women dropped, I was expecting the other way around.) Link to comment
BkWurm1 May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 Well I guess the drop in women makes sense if it was preempted by sports. 1 Link to comment

IS THE 18-49 DEMO STILL IMPORTANT? WHAT ARE “C3” AND “C7” RATINGS? DO DVR/STREAMING NUMBERS MATTER MUCH? (YET?) CAN THE PROSPECT OF SYNDICATION STILL ‘SAVE’ A SHOW?

lemotomato May 11, 2017 Share May 11, 2017 I know I shouldn't linger on "what ifs" but WHAT IF they hadn't gotten preempted last week? Since 520's final ratings were almost identical to 519 even after losing the #2 market, it's safe to say there definitely would've been a bump. 14 Link to comment
tv echo May 15, 2017 Share May 15, 2017 (edited) This article compared returning series' ratings for the 2016-2017 season to their ratings for the previous season... The 2016-2017 TV Season in 5 Really Depressing Charts By Josef Adalian and Jeni Zhen May 14, 2017http://www.vulture.com/2017/05/2016-2017-tv-season-in-five-really-depressing-charts.html Quote Almost every year since 2013, Vulture has published a chart illustrating the performance of veteran TV shows during the most recent season. We’ve labeled said charts “depressing” because they’ve consistently shown the vast majority of returning shows — whether they’ve been on the air for two years or two decades — losing ground in the key TV demographic of adults under 50. This season is no exception, and it’s arguably the most depressing year yet for those who follow network TV trends.... ... This year, 27 returning series suffered what we’d define as serious decline — a ratings loss of 25 percent or larger. That’s up from 16 series with similarly significant declines last season. It’s a dramatic spike, to be sure, but also not all that shocking. While some viewers are no doubt abandoning network TV for better offerings on cable or streaming, audiences are also simply consuming TV in dramatically different ways than they did at the start of the decade. We’ve been trained to know that if we fall behind on several episodes of a show, we can always catch up later on streaming. Binge-watching an entire season is, for many, a better experience than watching week-to-week.... * * *Note: Our chart is based on Nielsen data comparing all available viewing data for the current television season (from late September through late April) vs. similar data for the 2015–16 season. We used so-called “live plus seven” data for adult viewers between the ages of 18 and 49, which means this data includes a week’s worth of DVR replays and some (but not all!) viewing that takes place via Hulu and network-owned websites and apps. We counted only first-run episodes of scripted entertainment programs, as well as reality shows. We didn’t include newsmagazines, sports broadcasts or video clip shows such as AHF or Caught on Camera. Final Nielsen data for the season won’t be completed until early June, which means it’s possible a few shows now listed as being flat or down could end up in positive territory. The CW 0% Jane The Virgin - 8% Supernatural -11% The Vampire Diaries -13% Originals -17% The Flash -20% Reign -21% DCs Legends of Tomorrow -22% The 100 -22% iZombie -25% Crazy Ex-Girlfriend -31% Arrow -48% Supergirl* (*Moved from CBS to CW) Other Superhero and Berlanti Shows -27% Gotham (Fox) -30% Marvel's Agents of SHIELD (ABC) -47% Blindspot (NBC) Edited May 15, 2017 by tv echo Link to comment

Before this season, Arrow was retaining its audience much better than most shows. Whether it's because of bad marketing, unpopular plots or changing viewer habits (it's probably a mix of all), they're still lucky that they're on a network that cares less about ratings and more about things like owned productions and the Netflix deal.

Well CW is not like the other networks. Its a WB and CBS network. They only air shows produced by those productions. And the main goal of the network is to get shows to syndication. The network has a huge netflix deal and the DCTV shows +Supernatural are charting high in DVD sales and merchandise. At this point Arrow is considered an old show. Link to comment

I'm pretty sure it used to be because I think it I rewatched season 1 that way. Must have been a condition of CTV's agreement. It sucks because since they moved it to CTV Two it gets even less promotion than it used to. Link to comment
