Family Feud and Jeopardy tie for first place overall in the week ending July 17 with 5.1 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen ratings.
WEEKLY SYNDICATION RATINGS ROUNDUP
Game-y Week For Syndication
Family Feud and Jeopardy fought to a draw for the game show and overall syndication lead in the session ending July 17. Feud forged ahead 6% to a five-week high 5.1 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen rating, which was enough to gain a share of first place. Jeopardy also had the right answer, advancing 4% to a five-week high 5.1.
In daytime, Dr. Phil was a force to be reckoned with, rallying 8% to a 1.4 despite being in repeats and tying Live with Kelly and Ryan for Nielsen No. 1-rated talk show honors.
Live, which came up big last week, gave back 7% to its 1.4, but still sparkled with more than 2 million daily viewers on average.
Magazine shows were among the most consistent performers, with all seven strips holding their ground week to week. However, compared to the same week last year, only TMZ and Extra avoided any household rating losses and continued to outperform at prior levels.
Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight led the field at a 2.0 and 1.8, respectively.
Judge Judy, already in the syndication record books, was the convincing winner among the court shows for the 1,347th week in a row with a formidable 4.3.
