#5 cable network for adults 18-34, #1 in prime time with kids 6-11For the first time in the network's history, Cartoon Network earned a #5 ranking (among all ad-supported cable channels) in total day delivery of adults aged 18-34. Cartoon Network's superior performance stems largely from strong ratings for its Adult Swim programming block (Sunday-Thursday, 11 p.m. - 2 a.m. EST).

-Adult Swim averaged an 0.6 adults 18-34 rating (up 100%) and delivered 404,000 viewers (up 103%) vs. the same period in summer 2002.
-Adults 18-24 average delivery (240,000) increased by 138% and ratings (0.9) by 125%.
-Men 18-24 average delivery (179,000) increased by 159% and ratings (1.3) by 117%.

The network also boasts a #1 standing in prime time with kids 6-11 and #2 in total day delivery in the same age group, according to the latest Nielsen ratings.

Stupid Question Alert

How does Cartoon Network know how old its viewers are? Are they spying on us or something?

Depends on hoe Nielson does it, but they usually ask your ages when they ask you to be a Neilson family.

And the cable boxes that have bult in Nielson couners, get it from the account info from the house.

In late July my family participated in Nilesen's research; we recorded what shows we watched and who watched them (and the ages of each household member). I think I watched Adult Swim on one of the nights during the seven days... because of our cooperation, we made $5! :cool:
