AMCs The Walking Dead last year was the most popular showshot in metro Atlanta for the seventh year in a row.
It pulled in 17.83 million viewers, down 8.5 percent from19.49 million a year earlier, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Its the third most popular show overall behind only CBSs top comedy The Big Bang Theory (19.986 million) and CBSs top drama NCIS (19.647 million). The Walking Dead was first among 18 to 49 year olds.
The top metro Atlanta-based reality show was NBCs Spartan Team Challenge, a summer series, which averaged 4.2 million, ahead of both Bravos The Real Housewives of Atlanta (3.769 million) and VH1s Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. (3.577 million). The two latter shows had very modest drops from 2015.
Broadcast TV dominated the top 20 again with only The Walking Dead representing cable, same as 2015. And CBS carried9 of the top 20 shows, down from 11 in 2015. The top new show was NBCs This is Us, which came in sixth with 14.627 million viewers. And like the previous year, the top pay cable show was Game of Thrones (10.614 million, ranked 30th).
FX in 2015 compiled a similar list of primetime shows from 1 to 1,415, ranked in popularity. At the time, I posted the top 46 shot in metro Atlanta. For 2016, I received a list of 1,372 shows and foundlisted 52. The viewership numbers countseven days of DVR usage buton-demand streaming is not included.
Daytime shows shot here such asFamily Feud and Lauren Lakes Family Court are not included. Streaming shows such asStranger Things are excluded as well since they dont release ratings numbers anyway. And oddly, Atlanta-based Bounce TV was not part of the compilationso I didnt include Saints & Sinners, which averaged about 1.4 million overnight viewers. BETs Being Mary Jane didnt air any original episodes in 2016.
