Now that Castle is in Wednesday summer repeats, I was curious about the ratings.  For the first Wednesday repeat, the ratings per tvbythenumbers were as follows:

I'm sure part of the low demo is due to Castle not being on it's normal night…plus the lead-in was Cougartown, which had a demo of 0.9 and viewers in the high 2s I think.  There was also some discussion of too many Castle repeats…the fact that many episodes have been shown more than twice with Mon, Sat, and now Wed repeats.  Hopefully more viewers will find it on Wednesdays.  It sounds like ABC is showing the promo quite a bit.

Actually, the fact Castle continues to draw over 3 million viewers even after multiple repeats of an episode is quite good.  And the fact that ABC is showing it on Wed evenings now means it will get exposure that it may not have gotten on Saturday evening repeats.  This is all good.   Additionally, this bodes well for Castle for syndication at some point in the future also. 

The viewership we got last year may just be a launching pad for the number of viewers this next season…wouldn't that be awesome.  Certainly between Stana's extra movies this summer, plus her showing up at various other events as well as Nathan showing up (with other Castlers) at Comicon bodes well for the show also.  They are keeping the current crop of viewers involved while acquiring potentially new viewers.  We certainly have hard working stars, that's for sure.
