Syndication Ratings Scorecard: Rachael Ray and Megan Mullally ? Four Day Results

Four days to-date, King World's The Rachael Ray Show stands head and
shoulders above the six new first-run strips, with a 2.6 rating/ 9
share in the overnights. Comparatively, that's an increase of 13
percent from the lead-in (2.3/ 8) and 24 percent from the year-ago time
period average (2.1/ 7). As good as that is, and it is positive,
considering the hype it could have even been better. NBC Universal's
The Megan Mullally Show, meanwhile, ranks third overall of the six
(behind Rachael and Twentieth Television's Cristina's Court, and tied
with Warner Bros.' Dr. Keith) with an average 1.0/ 3. The lead-in is a
1.3/ 4, and the year-ago time period average a 1.4/ 5.

What follows are the initial four-day metered market results for The
Rachael Ray Show and The Megan Mullally Show (versus the lead-in and
year-ago time period averages).
