So week after week it has been reported that Lost is losing viewers, well turns out they really haven't been. Seems most people are just not watching the show live they are watching on DVR. When the show airs on Wednesday at 10p it averages around 11.7 million viewers, but when the DVR viewers are factored in the show climbs to 13.8 million viewers. I know I am one of those people who no longer watches the show live.
According to
Variety Lost is not the only show that picks up viewers with DVR, here are a bunch of others, "The 24% demo spike from "live" to "live plus 7-day" for "Lost" is the most for any current primetime show on broadcast television. NBC's "Heroes" and "The Office" both see their 18-49 average climb by 18%, while Fox's "24" and CW's "One Tree Hill" rise by 17%. Increasing by 15%-16% are NBC's "Las Vegas," "Friday Night Lights," "The Apprentice" and "My Name Is Earl," as well as CBS' "Survivor."
Hopefully The CW and NBC will take notice to these numbers when it comes time to pick up One Tree Hill and Friday Night Lights. What is it with Wednesday that we feel we need to watch it on DVR?
