Whereas these numbers don’t embody additional delayed or streaming viewing, they’re an excellent indicator of how a present is performing, particularly when in comparison with others on the identical channel. There could be different financial components concerned in a present’s destiny, however usually the higher-rated collection are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
