Demos Year-to-Year, Wednesday 2/15/12

Even though ABC's quite healthy and CBS and NBC are not exactly catastrophic (at least on a year-to-year basis), Wednesday really never has any chance of being an up day for broadcast as a whole as long as Idol remains down that much. And Thursday's the same way.

HOW TO READ THIS: These are adults 18-49 rating comparisons between the date in the post title and the corresponding night in February sweeps 2011. The 'SHOW' column compares each show with how that same show did during the same week of February sweeps 2011, no matter where it aired in 2011. If it aired somewhere else, I tell you when in the 'day/time' column. The 'SLOT' column compares each timeslot's rating with the timeslot's rating on the corresponding night in 2011, no matter what aired there last year. If it's different, I tell you what it is in 'previous occupant.'
