The BET AWARDS had limited broadcast appeal.
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: After a rerun AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS at 0.5, the network’s Sunday game shows returned from a week off, with CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD (0.7), PRESS YOUR LUCK (0.6) and MATCH GAME (0.5) all down 0.1.
CBS: 60 MINUTES gained 0.1 to 0.7. The BET AWARDS telecast was at 0.4, while last year’s edition scored 0.95 on its cable home alone (with additional viewers on Viacom network simulcasts).
NBC: HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT held at 0.2, followed by reruns at 0.2/0.4.
FOX: Reruns at 0.1-0.3.
CW: Reruns at 0.1/0.1.
Tonight, NBC airs an episode of the competition series CANNONBALL, which will have its regular run on sister network USA.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Also live events such as sporting events and major specials are usually undercounted because the fast nationals measure what was on in primetime in the Pacific Time Zone (mostly what aired after the live event ended on the West Coast). Accurate program ratings will be available Tuesday morning.
