How to Read These Numbers
Every show on Television Stats gets a daily Attention Score, a popularity index built from Wikipedia pageviews, search interest, Reddit activity, and other engagement signals, normalized to a common scale. A network's daily score is the sum of the Attention Scores of its top 10 shows that day, so it rewards both a huge #1 hit and a deep bench.
Weekly figures average those daily totals across the 7 days ending Monday, August 17, 2026. Week-over-week changes compare against the previous 7 days. Share of attention is a network's slice of the combined score of all tracked networks for the week. Read more on the methodology page.
