Nielsen updates its Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart on Thursdays, reflecting U.S. TV viewership data from the previous week (Monday-Sunday). This market will resolve according to the day of the week on which the episode of The Five with the highest number of U.S. viewers (Persons 2+ average total viewers, P2+) aired during the Week of August 17 - August 23, as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart. This market will resolve based on the first official estimate reported by Nielsen. Any later revisions or retractions will have no bearing on resolution. If Nielsen reports an entry for The Five without specifying the day of the week on which it aired, that entry will be treated as having aired on Monday. If the specified show does not appear on the final chart for the specified week, this market will resolve to "Monday". If two or more episodes of The Five are reported with the same number of viewers, and that figure is the highest reported for the specified week, this market will resolve to the earliest of those days within the Monday-Sunday week. If the data for the specified week is entirely unreleased by 11:59 PM ET on the second Thursday following the specified week, this market will resolve to "Monday". If the data for the specified week remains partially published (i.e. excluding certain days of the week) by that time, this market will resolve based on the viewership data available at that point. This market will resolve according to Nielsen’s P2+ viewership statistic for the specified week, as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart, regardless of any future changes in methodology. The resolution source for this market will be information from Nielsen, specifically their P2+ viewership statistic as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart (see: https://www.nielsen.com/data-center/top-ten/#television).Trader consensus positions Wednesday as the frontrunner for the most-viewed episode of The Five during the August 17–23 week, with a 54.5% implied probability, ahead of Thursday at 25.4%. This reflects mid-week momentum in cable news audiences, where sustained coverage of breaking political and cultural stories often peaks midweek before tapering into the weekend. The Five averaged nearly 3.2 million total viewers across the week, leading Fox News’ primetime block and outperforming rivals, according to Nielsen data. Day-to-day fluctuations tied to guest lineups, news intensity, and viewer habits continue to shape the market, with Friday and early-week episodes trailing amid typical audience patterns. Final Nielsen figures will determine resolution.
