'Jersey Shore' Season Premiere Draws Record 8.45 Million Viewers; 4.2 Adults 18-49 Rating
By Bill Gorman
The season premiere of MTV’s Jersey Shore on Thursday drew 8.45 million viewers, that’s 38% above the viewership (6.1 million viewers) for the late October season finale and is MTV’s most viewed series telecast ever. It drew a 4.2 adults 18-49 rating, up 35% from the 3.1 adults 18-49 rating for the late October finale. That crushed the 18-49 ratings for everything on broadcast at 10pm last night.
So much for the memo that DVRs kill everything at 10pm.
Here’s the official press note with more information from MTV:
