HUT/PUT National Prime Trends

NTI Primetime HUT/PUT Tables by Month

HUTs and PUTs tend to follow similar patterns year after year, with some variations for Olympics months. During the year, there is some variation by month but not dramatic differences.

It has often been theorized that Americans watch much less television during the summer. In actuality, TVB’s analysis of June, July and August NTI averages find that the fall-off is consistent and not severe nationally. Some local markets, particularly in the South, may actually have increased HUTs because of the hot summers.

Major trend points for 2019:

  • HUT/PUT indices dipped a bit early in the summer but recovered as the summer progressed.
  • We continue to see the highest viewing levels in January & February
