Hey, how does ratings work for Canada? Do we know anything yet about how the Season 3 premiere did in Canada as far as viewers? I have yet to ever see how the ratings are for any given episode. I think the only ratings that "count" so to speak, are the Nielsen ratings. We know that "foreign" so to speak, viewings count, but I have never to date, seen anything which shows what the ratings are here in Canada, for any given episode.

Thanks, Texasscotian. Well, that is probably why the whole twitter/digital media presence things of foreign viewers is so important to those showrunners in the US--it gives an indication of whether or not it is being watched or not outside the US! So Tweet and Post like crazy wondrous Canadians!!! Let them know how glad we are the show is back (and why it must never cease to air--I'm JUST FINE with Vincent and Catherine in old age with canes and walkers many, many years from now!).

I think the only ratings that "count" so to speak, are the Nielsen ratings. We know that "foreign" so to speak, viewings count, but I have never to date, seen anything which shows what the ratings are here in Canada, for any given episode. I'm beginning to wonder if the CW letting Showcase air first was done purposely to get more accurate data on the truer US viewership. While the Nielsen ratings still do matter to the CW, the theory is BATB maybe doing better with on-line viewership in the US. But we also know the rabid Int'l beasties may make up for some percentage of the CW's on-line viewings. So this is my thinking on what could be behind the sCW's devious plot: - Many non-Canadian/non-US Int'l beasties who can't wait, may not care if they watch "on-line" (ehem illegally) from Showcase or the CW or a pirated copy. They just want to watch because it won't air in their home country until much later. This may even hold true for some US beasties wanting to watch earlier, so they too may watch (ehem illegally). - So by letting Showcase air first, more of these Int'l beasties will have already watched by the time the CW airs. By letting Showcase air 4 days in advance, these same beasties who may want to re-watch, will do so again via whatever method they are using to watch early. By the time the CW airs four days later, these beasties would be less likely to re-watch again & again off of the CW, leaving the CW with an on-line streaming population more heavily weighted with true US viewers vs. foreign. - Hence the CW may get a better gauge of their natural US on-line viewers by purposely letting Showcase go first. Having said that, if we have any hope of elevating the show's status in the eyes of TPTB, it's the CW viewership that matters most. So shrewd beasties who really want what's best for the show should resist the temptation to watch early and instead watch/stream as many times as possible off of the CW.

BeastieBoy I'm part of the int beasties and as you said I've already watched online coz I dont even know if it will be aired in my country. But I am ready to rewatch it in any way that could be usefull for the show rating. The problem is that I haven't found clear explanation of what to do. We can only watch it online but the CW site is open ( with tunnelbar or st) to foreign people? How could we watch it live? How about tweetting while the episode is airing even if is full night for us like 2am?

I'm talking about streaming from the CW site once the ep is posted, the CW counts those viewings. There are ways to do that, many know how. So instead of watching multiple times from a different source, save your repeat viewings (or even your first viewing) for the site that matters most, the CW. Every viewing of an ep from a different source is one less viewing that the CW could have counted towards its on-line viewing count.

Most fans (both US and international) run the episodes in the background on a daily basis. I know many many Beasties, myself included, who do that. I just mute the ep, and let it run while I work. So I don't necessarily play it for a re-watch, but to increase the view count on The CW's website. The same goes for Netflix as well. I just mute the ep, and go about my day.

I am pretty sure that the cw does not think so strategically in terms of the Canadian airing . I think u are giving them too much credit. Regarding viewings yes it is true that this is die hard fans who do all that stuff I agree but watching on the cw is a pain in the butt anyway. I always just leave it run in the background and watch my copies or ones bought via iTunes. The cw web is slow to stream and has a million ads.

A member of the crew told me the viewing numbers on the websites are noticed and are counted. I believe Austin Basis also mentioned that in twitter posts a few times too. Despite my owning the episodes via iTunes, I watch the Showcase.ca, Netflix, and CW websites even if I have it on in the background and have to have the volume off (hey, I do have to get some things accomplished during the day, darn when life gets in the way of my cult, or drug, I mean - show.) Also, I believe that you have to watch the show as an "individual" episode and not just loop it through in order for it to count as "hits" for the numbers. I know it is a pain to do the above, but I'm trying to help make amends for those who only watch pirated copies (hence not counting in the tally of viewers). Speaking of iTunes, it's Tuesday and new episodes and items are usually released on Tuesdays. Sigh, no sign of season three being made for sale yet on the Canadian nor the US iTunes store. I don't get it with iTunes.why not available? Doesn't make sense to me.. Any ideas
