Where can I download the full USTVDB network rankings table for January 2026?
Executive summary
The USTVDB network rankings for January 2026 are published on the USTVDB website — specifically the site’s network-ratings and networks pages — but the reporting available does not show a direct “download” link or exported file for the full January 2026 network rankings table; confirmation requires visiting the site or contacting its operator (ustvdb.com) [1] [2]. The site states its rankings are based on ratings data as of January 4, 2026 and derives program figures from recent Nielsen P2+ averages, so the underlying source is Nielsen even if USTVDB aggregates and displays the table on its pages [3] [4].
1. Where the USTVDB network rankings live on the web
USTVDB hosts a dedicated network-ratings page that presents its ranking of top television networks based on aggregated ratings data as of Sunday, January 4, 2026, and a networks directory that lists the full network roster (the rankings tab shows rank order while the directory is alphabetical) — those are the canonical pages to view the January 2026 network table on USTVDB [1] [2] [4].
2. What “download” options exist (and what’s missing in the reporting)
The available snippets and index pages show USTVDB publishing tables and per-network pages (for example, Fox News, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC and Paramount Network pages exist), but the provided reporting does not indicate any explicit CSV, Excel, or ZIP download button on the USTVDB site for the full network rankings table; therefore, no direct downloadable file can be positively identified from these sources alone — confirmation or a file would require visiting the USTVDB ratings/networks pages or asking the site operator [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [1].
3. How the data is compiled and what that implies for downloadability and reuse
USTVDB says its audience figures are derived from the latest Nielsen daily, weekly, or monthly P2+ program audience averages (the most recent available within a seven-day window), which means the site is an aggregator of Nielsen-derived metrics rather than primary measurement — this matters because Nielsen licensing and rights often constrain redistribution, which could explain why public downloadable exports are not advertised on the site [3] [4]. The USTVDB pages show per-network program lists and aggregated numbers, giving readers the table view online even where a machine-friendly export isn’t visible in the reporting [5] [7].
4. Practical steps to obtain the full January 2026 table right now
To obtain the full USTVDB network rankings table for January 2026, the most reliable immediate path is to open the USTVDB network-ratings page and the networks directory at ustvdb.com/ratings/networks/ and ustvdb.com/networks/ to view the table directly [1] [2]. If a downloadable file is required, options are: 1) look for any “ratings” or “download” affordance on those pages; 2) use a site-scraping/export tool to extract the visible HTML table (subject to the site’s terms of use); or 3) contact USTVDB through the site to request an official export — none of these potential download routes are documented in the supplied reporting, so verification on the live pages or from the site owner is necessary [1] [2].
5. Alternatives for verification or complementary data
If a direct USTVDB download is unavailable, other public ratings aggregators and trackers can be used to cross-check or reconstruct the January 2026 network picture: industry-focused trackers and sites such as SpottedRatings, TVSeriesFinale’s daily ratings pages, and The TV Ratings Guide maintain tables and episode-by-episode ratings that can help validate network-level trends, though each uses its own collection and presentation methods and may focus on different metrics (preliminary vs. final, demos vs. P2+) [11] [12] [13]. For the primary licensed source, Nielsen remains the origin of the program audience averages USTVDB cites, so obtaining Nielsen feeds or licensed reports would be the definitive way to secure a formal downloadable dataset if licensing permits [3].
