The reason we initiated those charts was all the talk about “the strike has really hammered ratings this year”, when in fact, ratings had already been hammered for most of the networks before the strike had any effect at all.

In the piece you link to you say ABC is down 5% “showing definite strike damage” – can you explain how that lines up with your comments here?

I do think there is a good chance comScore is saying what people want to hear. When I get a chance I’ll look at the relative increase in web video numbers, but that may not be so simple because those numbers are incomplete and only started being released last year.

If you look at our chart of year/year viewership except for Fox [which got an early boost because of baseball] there was no decrease in broadcast TV viewership because of the strike.

Since broadcast TV programming hadn’t changed and the viewership hadn’t changed, the idea that the web video increase was due to the strike is silly.
