Disney distribution’s Live With Kelly and Michael rose from
fifth place in the last May sweep to a virtual tie for second place with Ellen
DeGeneres this year, according to THR. National ratings released Wednesday by
Nielsen have Live scoring a 2.5 household rating, a 9 percent increase from
last year.
Live had the largest year-to-year viewership increase of any
syndicated talk show, up an impressive 9 percent to an average of 3.2 million
viewers a day. The show most importantly improved by 15 percent among the key
demographic group of women 25-54, with a 1.5 demo rating -- its highest numbers
in six years.
Dr. Phil was the highest-rated syndicated talk show for the
fifth straight May sweep, with a 3.0 household rating and an average of 3.9
million viewers a day. He was also the top talker among women 25-54. His 1.9
rating in the demo was up 12 percent from last May.

| Steve Harvey |
Radio's Steve Harvey continues to impress. His talk show had a 1.5
rating, which is just over 2 million viewers a day. He has grown 25 percent
since his September debut in households and beat Katie in the key female demo,
with a 0.9 compared to Couric's 0.8 rating.
The Harvey-hosted Family Feud was also big news. Its 4.5
household rating marked a 50 percent increase over the game show's performance
last May.
And of course Judge Judy is still the queen of TV
syndication. She had a 6.7 household rating for May sweep.
