LPM records Super Bowl boost for broadcast
For the week ended Feb. 6, broadcast drew a higher aggregate primetime rating than ad-supported cable in all five LPM markets in the three measured demos: HH, A18-49, and A25-54, the TVB said in its weekly report on Nielsen's Local People Meter ratings. "Last week Los Angeles once again posted the most lopsided margins. But probably due to the New England Patriots' presence in the Super Bowl, broadcast posted an unusually large advantage in Boston as well," TVB noted.
