こんばんは、ヤマガタです。
めちゃくちゃマイナーですが結構、衝撃的なニュースが入ってきました。
視聴者数を提供してくれるサイト
ShowBuzzDailyというサイトがあります。
プロレス関係のメディアが視聴者数をみるとき決まって参照するサイトです。
それが今回、終了を告げたのですね。
残念なニュース（2023/6/30）
残念ながら、私たちは今週をもってサイト運営を終了することにします。つまりShowBuzzDailyは終了する、ということです。
いままで私たちは業界関係者からの妨害に会って来ました。
しかし、それが原因ではありません。
技術的な問題でもありません。
収入面でもありません。
詳細はお伝え出来ないのですが、ここでは、ただ単にサイト終了だけお伝えさせてください。
TVのデータが、インターネット放送の隆盛により、情報価値を失いつつある、ということは、ひとつの要因です。
インターネット放送の視聴者数に当たる情報は、その放送の番組所有者により捻じ曲げらるようになりました。
本サイトは、もうしばらく存続しますが、まもなく終了します。サイト自体、消え去る、ということです。
私たちの所有するデータをお望みの人はコンタクトください。
Sadly, we have to announce that after this week, we will no longer be able to provide TV ratings to readers, and thus that ShowbuzzDaily will be effectively ending its operations. To be clear, unlike other interruptions that we’ve had, this isn’t due to a technical issue that can be fixed. It’s also not related to revenue (or lack thereof). Without going into details, we’re simply not going to be in a position to continue providing data.
Although we didn’t plan this, there’s a sense in which our departure coincides with an inflection point in the entire TV industry. As everyone is aware, the bottom has dropped out of linear viewership, and the ratings have had increasingly less utility. (Last Thursday’s cable ratings in the 18-49 demo included 25 shows clustered between 0.09-0.12, basically molecules of difference.) The balance of home viewing, for better or worse, has swung toward streaming, and the proprietors of those companies have chosen to be opaque with their information, providing data that’s incomplete and unverified when it’s available at all. That very lack of transparency is one of the key issues in the ongoing Writers Guild strike. Meanwhile, scrutiny of linear numbers is becoming a preoccupation akin to documenting angels on the head of a pin.
Nevertheless, we’ll miss that analysis, and we’ll miss you. (Well, maybe not the wrestling trolls, but everyone else.) Your goodwill, enthusiasm and interest have kept this site going, and we hope you maintain your passion for television as an art and a business.
A few final housekeeping points. The site may stay up for a bit following our official close (we might even post some box office pieces), but eventually it will vanish. We know that some of you may want to inquire whether we can provide you with copies of data from the site in Excel or other formats, and we’re afraid that isn’t going to be possible.
We’ll still be around for the next few days, and we hope you’ll be too. It’s been fun, but as all TV fans know, even the best series (with the possible exception of SNL, which appears to be immortal) must eventually come to an end.
トニーカーンが妨害したんじゃねーの？
頼んだぞ！

ぶっちゃけ、私がShowBuzzDailyを楽しみにしていたのはAEWの視聴者数ネタですね。
今日Dynamiteの視聴者数発表の日だったのですけれども、どのサイトも扱ってなかったんですよ。
なのでShowBuzzDailyを訪れたら・・・突然の終了報告でした。
なんだかトニーカーンの圧力がかかっているような気がしないでもない。
MITCH METCALFとMITCH SALEMという方が運営していたみたいです。消え去るのでコピペだけ取っておきます↓
Mitch Metcalf and Mitch Salem bring their combined 40 years of expertise as senior entertainment executives to ShowbuzzDaily.com, a website that features everything you want to know about the movies: up-to-the-minute box office predictions and analysis, along with the latest reviews. ShowbuzzDaily will bring you projections and analysis of every opening weekend and ultimate domestic and international grosses, as well as trends that affect studios, genres and release schedules, all combined with reviews of the newest films in release, titles on homevideo and classic cinema.
MITCH METCALF has been tracking every US film release of over 500 screens (almost 2000 movies and counting) since the storied weekend of May 20, 1994, when Maverick and Beverly Hills Cop 3 inspired countless aficionados to devote their lives to the art of cinema. Prior to that, he studied Politics and Economics atPrinceton in order to prepare for his dream of working in television, not yet having discovered that a degree in the Dark Arts would have been more useful. He has been Head of West Coast Research at ABC, then moved to NBC in 2000 and became Head of Scheduling for 11 years.
MITCH SALEM has cunningly pretended for some time to be a senior business affairs executive and attorney for such TV companies as NBC, USA/SyFy/Bravo, ABC and BermanBraun Productions (and before that, a student at the NYU School of Law), while actually indulging in a more or less nonstop bacchanal of moviegoing. During this time, he has been a film critic for the Brooklyn Free Press, and also co-wrote an episode of the television series “Felicity.” No, really. He is currently consulting, which he swears is not a euphemism.
