I think the reason why Network A isn’t backing down from the ratings war is because they think that there are other places that are being manipulated by network B.

Of couse, Network A’s line of thinking would be, “How could I concentrate on making quality content if the ratings are rigged? Even if they do make quality content, Network B would just rig the ratings and would stand out more”

Then again, as you have summed at the end of you r post: These are just for first impressions. it is the viewers that will decided in the end.

Nice post.

*Plays disruptor ala Mel-Gibson-conspiracy-theory hat* What if this is just another ploy by the networks (and maybe even bloggers who “fight”) to increase rating?

And yes, content quality for networks and many blogs (including mine) need to step up.

I find it rather curious and to an extent ‘silly’ that you found it silly at the beginning and had to think deeply in order to understand why the TV stations care about it and that hits and rating translate directly into the amount of money they charge advertisers.

I do agree with you about the last part. Hits and rating are merely an indicatotor of the popularity of a TV show or blog, and does not equaly quality.
