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.

    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
