The third episode of The Mayor aired just yesterday and the results were much less promising than last week. The Mayor received a rating of 0.8, a 0.2 decrease from last week and a 0.4 decrease from its premiere episode just two weeks ago and lost another 600,000 viewers since last week and just like the ratings, this number is double the amount lost since the premiere. However, much of the loss in viewership can be attributed to the start of the 2017 MLB World Series. The top rated program of the night on Tuesday, Game 1 of the series drew in 15 million viewers and scored a 3.9 rating. A viewership of the mayor hold a majority of its target demographic in the 19-49 market which is a demographic it shares with the MLB. We must not attribute the loss in viewership completely to the world series as some Tuesday night shows were able to maintain ratings, however, being that our show airs at 9:30, it was quite unlikely that viewers were going to chose the show that they could stream at any time over a live event like the world series. Despite the average ratings the show is receiving, many critics are still loving the show which is keeping the possibility of renewal alive.
