Where the spots run — and who each slot reaches the station's own schedule, joined to each daypart's audience
| slot | typical time | spots | share | who’s watching |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early morning | 5–9 a.m. | 4 | 36% | 65+ (36%), women-skew |
| Prime | 8–10 p.m. | 4 | 36% | 35-54 (33%) |
| Daytime | 9 a.m.–4 p.m. | 2 | 18% | 65+ (40%), women-skew |
| Sports | game windows | 1 | 9% | 35-54 (43%), men-skew |
Spot counts are real, from the order’s own schedule. “Who’s watching” is modeled from each daypart’s public audience mix (the same model behind the demographics export), not measured local ratings.
