Boom Cartoon Nets CN 35%-142% Ratings Growth From Same Period Last Year
TV By The Numbers has the ratings for the past week’s Sonic Boom cartoon airings. Once again the numbers are impressive:
Saturday morning programming (7-11 a.m.) earned year-over-year delivery gains among kids 6-11 by 5% and kids 9-14 by 1%. Sonic Boom (7 a.m.) ranked #1 in its time period among boys 6-11 & 9-14, and Pokémon the Series XY (8 a.m.) ranked #1 in its time period among all boy demos. Both series’ performances grew delivery of all targeted demos vs. the same time period last year, ranging between 35% and 142%.
It’s a decrease from last week but it was enough to keep its number one ranking. We’ll keep you posted on any further rating reports on the cartoon.

Heck yeah! Suck it Dish!
Finally some good news about Sonic Boom, and I’m glad to read this considering how much effort they put in the Boom Initiative, I have yet to see any episode of the cartoon but even if I don’t like it I wish this branch and all its fans the best of luck.
You are a great person. I never thought I’d ever hear someone who doesn’t like Sonic Boom respect the people who do like it and the initiative itself. You earned a cookie. 🙂
Strong numbers once more – good 🙂 It’s just a pity the games are tarnishing the brand… I hope they don’t drag the show down with them.
And before anyone comes in with ‘but the numbers are going down’, that’s normal. It happens to every TV series.
agreed 🙂
The two facts alone that the numbers are much better than last year’s cartoon and it is leading the pack for the time slot speaks volumes.
Was I the only one who didn’t really like episodes 3 and 4? I liked 1 and 2. But I might’ve smiled only once or twice throughout both episodes. I really like the show, not trying to bring it down or anything.
I wasn’t too fond of episode 4, but I believe other aspects of the episode saved it from being all bad. Things like the dreamcast logo, orbot and cubot’s Sonic and Tails disguises, and actually seeing other people that exist in the universe.
That’s good to hear,it’s a pretty good show and nice to see that Boom can still make you smile even after the games come out.
lol becoming number one with no competition. seems legit.
I want a list of Saturday cartoons airing at 7am on multiple well known networks.
It’s high time this “Sonic Boom TV Show is a success!!!” mirage was wiped away.
I also want NUMBER estimates of watchers not these stupid percentages that are conveniently vague and undefined.
Can it, you twit!
It must be depressing to be so jaded and blinded by hate that you refuse to accept that something you don’t like might just be quite popular.
Not to egg 100rings on or anything, but I would like to see that myself, along with what Cartoon Network had in this slot this time last year.
I’d be interested to see the raw data too. I tried to find such for the first two episodes, but had no luck. I didn’t try all that hard, but then I don’t know if CN even publish the raw figures.
However, unlike 100Rings, I’m able to handle the lack of raw data with civility and grace. Well, OK, that may be overstating it, but equally I don’t hurl hatred and abuse at everyone within a thousand-mile radius either.
I’m just glad that both mediums didn’t fail and only one did… how sad would that be for Sega…
Sonic Boom’s target audience is 6 to 11 and 9 to 14 year olds. They’re not trying to sell to the people whohave decided to buy or not buy a game because it’s review score. Kids typically aren’t concerned with “bad” or “good”, metacritic scores or the Internet’s opinion. They’re only concerned with what they love and what they want. And if Sega succeeds in making kids love and / or want Sonic Boom, then the review scores for the game won’t even matter. Sonic Boom will have been deemed a financial “success” in Sega’s eyes.
The Sonic Boom TV show is one of the greatest things to happen to the Sonic franchise, but I can’t help but think that Sonic could’ve aged much better had he just died way back before the Saturn days.
I loved it very funny, really that much better than previous series of Sonic.
