SHOWBUZZDAILY SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2.3.2019

 

The SUPER BOWL continued to slide.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day 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.

CBS:  Although the SUPER BOWL will always be a monster, its preliminary 27.9 was down about 10% from 2018’s 30.9, itself down 2.9 from 2017.  (Last year’s game adjusted to 33.4 in final numbers.)  The premiere of WORLD’S BEST had a preliminary 8.6, way down from the early 14.9 for last year’s big episode of THIS IS US, but much better than the 6.1 for 2017’s 24: LEGACY.

ABC:  As usual, the other networks aired reruns rather than compete with the game.  ABC’s were at 0.2-0.4.

NBC:  Reruns at 0.2-0.3.

FOX:  Reruns at 0.2-0.3.

CW:  Reruns at 0.1/0.1.

MAN WITH A PLAN returns to CBS tonight.

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

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top Friday cable programs. Saturday & Sunday cable ratings will be posted Tuesday morning.
