Television ratings service Nielsen said Oct 29's numbers will be delayed because of super storm Sandy. That was to be expected. Not only is Nielsen based in the East Village of New York City, one of the area's hardest hit by weather and power outages, the number of local East Coast television stations preempting network programming for storm coverage will make it incredibly difficult to figure out who was watching what. Nielsen hopes to release numbers later Tuesday. Fortunately for Nielsen, much of its actual number crunching is done in Florida.
