Ratings: Returning Fringe Scares Up a Big Audience

Placing second behind ABC's Ball, Fox's Fringe returned from its seven-week siesta to an audience of 12.1 million, a 40 percent bump from its last outing and the freshman series' second-largest audience ever.

Fewer Ads during ?Fringe? Equals Less Ad-Skipping

Fox decided last spring that it would air fewer ads during new drama Fringe in an effort to increase ad viewing - now, it looks as though the tactic may be working.

About 13% of ads during Fringe are being skipped, per ratings that include DVR playback, while 16% to 20% of ads in other leading hour-long Fox shows are being skipped, according to Magna Global (via MediaPost).

Fox?s initiative, dubbed Remote Free TV, includes just 10 minutes of national ads per hour, compared to 16 minutes of other hour-long shows. The second show in the initiative, Dollhouse, premieres Feb. 13.

Advertisers are paying CPMs that are 25% to 30% higher compared to similar shows; Fox originally was asking for a 50% jump in CPMs for 50% fewer ads, a source told MediaPost.

Fox would like to offer advertisers similar deals in other shows, but not all advertisers can pay that kind of premium, Fox executive Kevin Reilly said.

MediaVest vp and research director points out that a higher price for a reduced number of ads does not automatically translate to a jump in ROI.

I was excited, but all I can see is "Lost: Season 5 Revealed", Lost and "Lost... On Location"

Lots of Lost (must be a new season or sommat ;)) and no sign of Fringe :(

Weird I got that from TVguide.co.uk, they probably got it wrong then.

3e 11:10pm-12:10am (1 hour ) Sun 25 Jan

Starts in 6 hour(s) 3 minutes

Actually I have no idea what 3e is.

Where Is the MythArc!?!

Guess I like this show, but honestly I DISLIKE it lacks a strong Mythology, like the X-files, Heroes, Lost, Smallville.

Every week it's all like MOTW episodes.

It's possible that all these weekly episodes are Related to each other, but just don't seem to present it as so.

Adding more Action/Suspense wouldn't hurt either.

LOL that Mountain Dew Voltage commercial was Cool! :D

Rappy, you got Spoilers that future episodes a good Mytharc will come into Scene?

Not read anything to spoilertastic about that, only the massive one olivia and peter are brother/sister

So you want the show to be completely different than it is?

Sorry, brother, but the show is designed the way they want it to be. Your ideas for all shows seem to be make it more like XYZ and have more action. Fringe is a drama/thriller/suspense show, not action. And its meant to be able to be picked up at any point, unlike serialized shows where you have to watch most/all of it to know what is going on.

omgz windows on a macbook! :p

I love this show, its wacky but just freakin awesome!

OMG Dawsons Creek Revival!!!

Well, if what you say is true. I am GREATLY disappointed. I am not going to become a Huge fan of this show, then.

Because really I love Serialized shows MUCH better, TBH!

If this show doesn't get any Mytharc, or Serialized episodes I sadly will treat the show just as 'Watch if I can', but NOT a Must-Watch like Lost, 24, Heroes, Smallville etc.

I am going to have Disagree with you guys think this format is Better.

X-files' MOTW episodes are Way better than this, and frankly, it could continued past Season 9 with Doggett and Monica But because of No Mulder and Scully, that Mytharc is gone and show is OVER.

If this show really want a Strong fanbase at all, it really Need to get a Great Mytharc together, IMO.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
