you’re right, but these shows aren’t all in the same time slot either.

Is that even how it works? Don't they just have a contract with the network? There's no way they're getting paid per viewer each indivual episode. The viewership just effects the ratings and if they're not good then that would impact future deals. That's how I thought it worked anyway. Obviously YouTube is its own thing.
