RFD-TV DELIVERS STRONG NIELSEN NUMBERS
Total Adult Weekly Viewership Grows Over 18.3%
Continuing to set new audience records, RFD-TV recorded it’s best-ever rating period in January 2009 (Nielsen) with Total Adult Weekly Viewership posting a hearty year-to-year increase of over 18.3% (11,201,000 weekly viewers).
“This significant Nielsen research underscores how desirable and important RFD-TV is to those viewing households that can receive RFD-TV. The numbers don’t lie. While RFD-TV’s household universe increased by over 12.5%, the overall adult viewership on RFD-TV grew by over 18.3%,” said Dan Kripke, director of sales for RFD-TV.
RFD-TV credits its Nielsen success to its significant investment over the past year in programming including HEE HAW, Crook & Chase, Country Family Reunion, and Music & Motors. RFD-TV will continue investing in high-quality programming which will only raise its Nielsen numbers even more.
“This increase in audience is no surprise to me,” said Patrick Gottsch, founder and president of RFD-TV. “Interest in the America’s countryside and rural matters generally are extremely high, not only from those who live there, but also from a large proportion of city dwellers. RFD-TV’s Nielsen numbers are proof, once again, that audiences are searching for good, traditional, family-oriented entertainment and television the way it used to be.”
