SHOWBUZZDAILY THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4.11.2019

 

FAM ended its season (and maybe its run) on a slight up note.

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.

ABC:  GREY’S ANATOMY (1.5), STATION 19 (0.9) and FOR THE PEOPLE (0.5) were all steady.

CBS:  The FAM season finale was the sole original on a night of reruns, which doesn’t speak well for its prospects.  But despite the lower lead-in, FAM gained 0.1 to 0.8.  The sitcom reruns that preceded it were at 0.9-1.0, and it was followed by a SWAT rerun at 0.6.

NBC:  SUPERSTORE was up 0.1 to 0.9, and AP BIO held at 0.5.  BROOKLYN NINE-NINE aired for the first time since March 21, and was steady at 0.6, but ABBY’S fell 0.1 to a  new low 0.4.  SVU dropped 0.1 to 0.7.

FOX:  After a rerun of GOTHAM at 0.4, THE ORVILLE aired its first original since March 21 and stayed at 0.6.

CW:  SUPERNATURAL rose 0.1 to 0.4, and IN THE DARK remained at 0.2.

Tonight, ABC airs the season finales of FRESH OFF THE BOAT and SPEECHLESS. 

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 cable programs from this day.
