雅思写作小作文参考资料:纽约时报的一篇关于收视率调查文章,使用了包括列数据,对比,描述变化等小作文常用语言。 TURIN, Italy, Feb. 16NBC Olympic broadcasts have always turned back challenges to their ratings dominance, but the Turin Games have shown that strong counterprogramming can succeed. American Idol on the Fox network has trounced the Winter Games twice and will face them three more times next week starting Tuesday, the first night of the womens figure skating. Last Tuesday, two days after ABCs Greys Anatomy outrated the Olympics, Idol attracted 27 million viewers from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern, crushing NBCs 15.4 million. The next night, when they met again from 8 to 9, Idol expanded its lead in the second half-hour with 31.1 million viewers to NBCs 15.4 million. Despite the invigorated competition, NBC is still dominating prime time during the Olympics in terms of total viewers. But the audacity of ABC and Fox underscores their belief that NBC, the No. 4 network in prime time, is vulnerable, even during the mighty Olympics. CBS has chosen the more traditional policy of running repeats against the Games. Although NBC officials said they fully expected Idol to defeat the Olympics by wide margins, they were surprised that House, the medical drama on Tuesday, retained as many Idol viewers as it did. The 20.1 million House viewers nearly tied NBCs 20.9 million from 9 to 10 p.m. |
