Content Power Rankings

Optimedia, a media research group (from what I can tell), just released the results of a new type of rating that assesses the value of a show on all platforms. It takes tv ratings, online streaming, quality, and a lot of other items into consideration when ranking shows. Friday Night Lights, for example, ranks 84 according to Nielsen, but 17 on the Content Power Ratings report.

I find this very interesting, and I wonder if they will indeed supplant Nielsen as the go-to information source about whether a show is successful.

Sadly, Supernatural didn’t crack the top 100. I wonder if it is mainly because it is a genre show. Because it has a lot of Internet buzz and other measured qualities. I’m not sure how it does with streaming–I know I’ve heard that the CW is not always quick in posting its shows other than Gossip Girl. I wonder what we fans of the show could do to increase its power rating (or if it even matters). What do you think?
