Weekly Results For March 17-23

March 26, 2008 12:06 AM

Again, sorry for the tardiness in getting this posted, likely too late for most of you, but the Weekly Results by Network have been posted on our site since early afternoon today, so you could have been doing your research already.

In general, as shows return with new episodes their ratings are coming in below the end of the fall season's ratings and you should be selling them before their Sunday deadlines. However, as always, there are exceptions to the rule.

Here are a few trades to take advantage of price changes coming Wednesday morning. This list is not comprehensive, I'm just trying to catch some of the big movers. Use the reference links to research your own line up.

SELL

• Dancing with the Stars for $159m, going to $121m
• Lost for $75m, going to $70m
• Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for $71m, going to $64m
