Deal or No Deal - #1 show… online

Don Day October 10th, 2007

Howie and his case holders take the top spot among TV series with an online presence. Hitwise metered show sites during premiere week, and found DOND had a remarkable 15% share of all show’s web traffic. TVWeek says the largess is mostly due to the win at home game, but I’d guess that those model slideshows don’t hurt. Dancing With The Stars takes #2 - again fueled by viewer participation. The top scripted show is Heroes with 9.71% share. Relatively low-rated America’s Most Wanted is the fifth most-trafficked show site. Bionic Woman was the top-ranked freshman series, in 9th place.

NBC.com is the number one network site with 48% share, followed by ABC.com at 23.40%, CBS.com at 17.13% and CWTV.com at 6.53%. FOX.com stands in fifth place at 4.59%, but its numbers don’t include stand-alone sites for America’s Most Wanted, the Simpsons, Family Guy or American Idol.
