On Sunday, June 25, 2017 the broadcast schedule included a mix of fresh episodes and repeated airings across the networks. New installments arriving that night included Celebrity Family Feud, $100,000 Pyramid, Steve Harvey’s Funderdome, American Grit, Sunday Night at Megyn Kelly and 60 Minutes. At the same time several series filled time slots with reruns, among them America’s Funniest Home Videos, NCIS: Los Angeles, Madam Secretary, Code Black, American Ninja Warrior and Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge. This summary highlights the programming mix and clarifies how the early ratings are displayed.
The page presents fast affiliate ratings — the preliminary audience estimates compiled rapidly from affiliate reports. The site notes that the displayed percentages indicate the change from the last original episode; those comparative figures are particularly useful for tracking momentum or declines. Importantly, percentage deltas are not provided for reruns or specials, which means repeats appear without that comparative percentage. If the charts are not visible, try reloading the page or follow the instruction to “go here” on the site for an updated view.
Understanding the fast affiliate metrics
The term fast affiliate ratings refers to early, provisional numbers gathered from participating stations before the final national tallies are completed. These initial figures give a quick look at how programs performed in their local markets and are often used to spot overnight trends. The page emphasizes the difference between preliminary estimates and the final, validated ratings that arrive later. Readers should treat fast numbers as directional: they show momentum and comparative performance from the previous original episode, but they do not replace the comprehensive final totals that networks and advertisers use for official analysis.
What the percentages represent
When a percentage appears beside a show, it represents the change since that program’s previous original telecast. This helps viewers and industry observers see whether interest rose or fell week to week. For example, if a new episode displays a positive percentage, it indicates growth relative to the last original episode; a negative percentage shows a decline. These comparative figures apply only to first-run episodes and are omitted from listings of reruns and specials because there is no relevant previous original to compare within the same context.
Why reruns lack percentage comparisons
Reruns are presented without percentage changes because they are not compared to the prior original episode in the same way. A repeat broadcast can attract a very different audience depending on timing, competing programs, and local scheduling, so the site avoids presenting a misleading week-to-week delta. Instead, repeats show their basic fast affiliate viewership level and are later absorbed into the full, final dataset when the daily qualifications and comprehensive returns are released.
Programs that premiered and those that returned in repeats
That Sunday’s fresh lineup delivered a mix of game shows, reality competition and newsmagazine programming. The new episodes list included the crowd-pleasing Celebrity Family Feud, the classic revival $100,000 Pyramid, the physical-competition format Steve Harvey’s Funderdome, the challenge-centric American Grit, a topical segment titled Sunday Night at Megyn Kelly, and the long-running news program 60 Minutes. In contrast, reruns filled other network slots with returning episodes of staples like America’s Funniest Home Videos and high-action franchises such as American Ninja Warrior and Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge.
How networks balance premieres and repeats
Broadcasters commonly pair new episodes with reruns to manage schedules and budgets while maintaining viewer familiarity. New content is used to drive tuners and advertising dollars, while reruns offer reliable fill and can reach casual viewers who missed first airings. The June 25, 2017 lineup illustrates this strategy: networks deployed new episodes in marquee slots and relied on repeats to maintain presence in other hours. The result is a typical Sunday mix that aims to satisfy both appointment viewers and those scanning for comfort programming.
Where to find final totals and historical context
For anyone wanting more than the fast affiliate snapshot, the site provides links to individual show pages where the numbers are updated once the daily final ratings arrive. Each show page includes the finalized audience figures and a running season averages metric so readers can assess long-term trends. Clicking a program’s link takes you to its dedicated page, which will be refreshed with the official totals and will display cumulative performance metrics for broader perspective.
Practical tips for checking the data
If the updated charts are not immediately visible, try refreshing the page or following the site’s “go here” instruction to access the refreshed view. Remember that the initial figures are early estimates and will be superseded by final ratings; consult the show pages later in the day for the authoritative totals and the season averages that contextualize how each series is faring across the broadcast year. What were you watching last night — original network programming, reruns, cable, or something else?
