The two-week test of CTD's Breakthrough With Dr. Steve Perry, which began Jan. 7 on Fox stations in eight markets ended with a 0.4/1 weighted metered market average, down 50% from both its lead-in and year-ago time period average. Among women 25-54, Breakthrough finished at a 0.3/2, off 25% from its lead in and down 40% from its year-ago time periods.
Returning to the national ratings for the week ended Jan. 13, the top three court shows all were higher.
CTD's Judge Judy closed in on six months of being syndication's number-one show in the household ratings, leading all shows for the 24th consecutive week with one tie after a 14% spike to a 7.4.
