Supernatural Taking A Break Until March

First, I found out that Gossip Girl wasn’t returning until March and now I find out that Supernatural is going away until March too after this week’s episode! I had to get to the bottom of it! Well it didn’t take long because Buddy TV wrote me and told the reason why this was all happening.

Typically in February, the Nielsen ratings are used to help determine advertising rates, so many shows will put on their biggest and best episodes. However, due to the expected nationwide conversion to digital TV on February 17, that time period was moved to March.

Thus, shows may take a break in February and return with their big episodes starting March 5.

So that means sweeps has been moved to March which is better…but now the conversion has moved to June so they could have continued with their shows without interruption. So if your favorite show is missing for the next month you know why.

  • I believe that the return of the next new episode of Supernatural will not be until March 12th and not March 5th as the article above states, just a FYI.
