TV ratings delayed by Nielsen power outage

A power outage early Sunday morning in Nielsen's Global Technology and Innovation Center in Oldsmar, Florida, has delayed the release of fast-affiliate and official national ratings.

"A power outage at our Oldsmar Data Center impacted the availability of some Nielsen applications and the planned delivery of some Nielsen data for Sunday, March 12th and Monday March 13th," said the company in a statement provided to Deadline today. "We are actively working to resolve the issue and will continue to provide clients with updates as more information becomes available," they added.

Deadline reports data collection itself was not impacted, but the Nielsen's systems have to be rebooted.

RACER will post this weekend's IndyCar and NASCAR ratings as soon as they become available.
