Comscore Reports TV Viewing Engagement for Week Ending February 28, 2021

RESTON, Va., March 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Comscore (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today announced the top broadcast and cable television programs for viewer engagement for the week ending February 28, 2021.

"Once again, Spanish-language programming is a huge hit among audiences, sweeping the top 5 spots on the broadcast chart," said Paul Dergarabedian, Senior Media Analyst, Comscore. "CBS secured the most broadcast slots over the other networks, all of which were legal and procedural dramas. On cable, AMC's "The Walking Dead" returned from a mid-season hiatus to capture the #2 spot, signaling that fans of the show were looking forward to its return after what initially was thought to be the season finale in October 2020."

Comscore's TV engagement rating, also known as the Stickiness Index, ranks primetime ad-supported cable and broadcast telecasts by level of viewer engagement, which is determined by comparing the average percentage viewed of each telecast to that of all primetime telecasts with the same duration. Telecasts with the most engaged viewers have a higher Stickiness Index, indicating that more of the audience is tuned in—or engaged—for the duration of the telecast.
