TV Land & Nick@Nite With Best Ever Ratings In 2005; Knots Landing Off Weekday Schedule on SOAPnet

For 2005 to date, TV Land is pacing to earn its most-watched year ever among its core demo of Adults 25-54 and among total viewers on a total programming day basis. Bolstered by new original programming and its proven roster of hit classic TV programming, the network will finish the year averaging 303,000 A25-54, up +18% versus year-ago and 600,000 total viewers on a total programming day basis, up +20% over last year. Additionally, TV Land is pacing to have its most-watched prime time ever in its 10-year history, averaging 411,000 A25-54, an increase of +16% over 2004 and drawing 966,000 total viewers, up +24%. Among the shows that have lifted TV Land this year are Good Times, What's Happening!!, and TV Land Confidential.
For 2005 to date, Nick at Nite is poised to record its most-watched year ever among total viewers on a total programming day basis. Driven by the success of its hit original hidden camera series, Hi-Jinks, as well as the continued success of modern hit sitcoms The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Roseanne the network is also finishing the year as the number-one basic cable network among Women 18-49, Women 18-34, Women 25-54 and African Americans A18-49.

Many fans have known and have noticed that SOAPnet has removed Knots Landing from the weekday line-up effective today. They went through the cycle and finished yesterday and now the short lived Paper Dolls is airing in that slot instead. And when that show is finished, they will air another short lived soap, Pasadena. After that, let's hope Knots returns to the weekday line-up. You can still catch Knots Landing however on Saturday nights at 9 p.m. So all is not lost!
