Network Airplay: “Phineas and Ferb” Airs More Than “SpongeBob”

Author: Nickandmore!

I’ve taken the week of January 24-30, 2011 to find out how many times each network airs each of their shows.  The results are all listed below.  Some interesting notes:

  • Phineas and Ferb (on Disney Channel and Disney XD) airs more times per week than SpongeBob SquarePants (on Nickelodeon; it’s not currently airing on Nicktoons) with 71.5 airings vs. 63 airings, respectfully.
  • Movies take up a large amount of programming time on Cartoon Network (where it’s #2), Disney Channel (#5), Disney XD (#5) and The Hub (#1); whereas, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons and TeenNick did not air movies all week.
  • With 112 airings (and 33.3% of the network’s overall airplay), Degrassi on TeenNick is the most aired show (on the networks this site covers) this week.

Full results follow:

Note:  1 airplay = 30 minutes (therefore, 1 hour-long show = 2 airplays; a 2 hour movie = 4 airplays, etc.)

KEY:  # of airplays – show title (% of network’s total airplays for the week)
