Demos Year to Year, Wednesday 2/17/10

Another illuminating post full of repeat vs. original comparisons! Perhaps the only thing this endeavor has really illustrated is why I don't do posts like this every day of the season... there'd be a lot of this stuff if not for my sweeps-only rule. The only thing of interest here is that Idol took a 20% hit opposite the Olympics. Anyway, two weeks down, two to go.
