CBS:  These days in network television, keeping the same rating as a year ago is good news (see THE VOICE cycle finale last night falling half a point), and the SURVIVOR cycle finale retained 2016’s 1.9 rating.  The REUNION SPECIAL that followed is currently at 1.6, which would be up 0.3 from 2016’s special, but it actually began after 10PM, so it may be adjusted down this afternoon.

NBC:  After a 0.7 WILL & GRACE rerun, the movie PITCH PERFECT drummed up 0.9 in momentum for this weekend’s sequel.

ABC:  Reruns at 0.4-0.7.

FOX:  Reruns at 0.5/0.4.

CW:  Holiday special reruns at 0.3/0.2.

NBC airs 2 new episodes of GREAT NEWS tonight before an SNL holiday cip show, ABC has its CMA COUNTRY CHRISTMAS special, and CBS is all new except for a rerun BIG BANG THEORY.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
