The Sked: THURSDAY Ratings Advisory

Remember that the fast nationals for The CW Thursday schedule will be vastly inflated by local coverage of NFL Network's Thursday Night Football. Because of football pre-emptions in New York and Denver (on WPIX and KWGN), The CW has pulled original episodes of The Vampire Diaries and Secret Circle and replaced them with a movie that no one ever saw because it barely played in theaters, Beneath the Blue.  Ratings will seem decent for the 2010 movie because the fast nationals will count football viewing in New York and Denver (a combined 7.8% of the country) toward its total, but the rating will be correct by the afternoon Friday in the official nationals.
