Weekly Nielsen Ratings: 1961-62 TV Season

Below is a collection of scans of the Nielsen pocketpieces covering the the 1961-62 TV season. It features the complete primetime broadcast Nielsen ratings for all programs airing from September 18, 1961 through April 15, 1962. The weeks of Oct. 16-22, 1961 and Dec. 18-24, 1961 were black weeks and not measured by Nielsen. I do not currently have any scans for the summer portion of the season. The grids report both the "Total Audience" and the "Average Audience" but Average Audience is the standard Nielsen metric that should be used.
