SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5.30.2018

 

REVERIE arrived sleepily.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).

Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.

Fast Demo 2018 May 30.WED

NBC:  Episodes of AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR air throughout the regular season wherever NBC needs to fill in a hole on its schedule, but last night was its official season premiere, and its 1.2 was down 0.2 from the June 2017 premiere (on a Monday).  REVERIE premiered at 0.6, not a disastrous number for a summer original, but certainly nothing to be enthused about.

FOX:  MASTERCHEF had a 1.0 2-hour season premiere, down 0.1 from 2017 (in a 1-hour format).

CBS:  Following a 0.5 rerun of SEAL TEAM, the canceled CODE BLACK aired back-to-back episodes at 0.7/0.7, down 0.1 from its last episode 2 weeks ago.

CW:  THE ORIGINALS was steady at 0.3, airing after a rerun SUPERGIRL at 0.2.

ABC:  Sitcom reruns at 0.5-0.6.

ABC has Game 1 of the NBA FINALS tonight, and the other broadcasters are giving it a wide berth with line-ups of reruns.

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