Averages are based on final national numbers (live and same-day viewing). Keep in mind that demo numbers are usually the most important to advertisers. So that’s how the network measures success. Advertisers typically pay more for ad time on shows with higher demo ratings. Is it because older viewers don’t count? No, because younger viewers watch less traditional TV and are harder to reach. It’s also important to remember that ratings are designed to estimate the number of people who watched a show’s commercials, not the show itself. Advertisers are paying for it.
