What’s This TV Show About?
A music game show airing on the FOX television network, this newest iteration of the Name That Tune series is hosted by Jane Krakowski, with Randy Jackson leading the in-studio band. The competition tests contestants’ music knowledge as they battle in various challenging musical games for cash and prizes. Each hour episode consists of two stand-alone half-hour contests. Two players play against each other as they race against the clock to test their knowledge of songs. Each contest features various games from the original format before the iconic Bid-a-Note round. The player with the most money at the end of Bid-a-Note wins the game and takes his or her bank into the Golden Medley bonus round. The player can win additional cash and potentially the $100,000 grand prize.
Season Four Ratings
The fourth season of Name That Tune averages a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.54 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season three, that’s down by 14% in the demo and up by 19% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
