As Tommy was on his way to participate in the casting jury for Stephen's new film, he received a call from Earl Rash.
The results of BT Television's privately commissioned audience ratings survey were finally out. For a network that had no flagship regional stations of its own, relying entirely on affiliated stations, the performance was quite good.
The ratings for "Finding Daddy in America" were 4.7.
The ratings for "NiggerBoss" were 3.9.
According to Nielsen ratings, where every 1% market share equals 1.5 million viewers, 7.05 million people had watched BT Television's "Finding Daddy in America," and 5.85 million had watched Tommy's crime series "NiggerBoss," targeted at the Black audience.
In a United States with a population of 240 million, these figures might seem insignificant, but in reality, they had already made all three major networks take notice of BT Television.
