Nielsen Says ‘Walking Dead’ Among Most-Tweeted

Associated Press: Millions of viewers were firing off those 140-character texts while they watched TV in the season just past. And there were plenty of people reading them. Nielsen Social has tracked all that digital back-and-forth, and is releasing a report on television-related Twitter activity in the U.S. from Sept. 1, 2014 through May 24, 2015. And while CBS consistently tops the weekly Nielsen ratings for viewers, it’s an also-ran when it comes to Twitter. “The Walking Dead” on AMC roused a siege of tweeters to take the lead among series. The series had the largest audience on Twitter throughout the season with an average 4.3 million people seeing tweets about each new episode.
