Just a dismal night.
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: POOCH PERFECT was steady at 0.4, then BLACK-ISH lost 0.1 to 0.3, MIXED-ISH held at 0.3, and BIG SKY dropped 0.1 to a new low 0.3.
CBS: The line-up returned after 2 weeks of reruns, but no one seemed to have told viewers, as all the night’s shows were down: NCIS by a whopping 0.4 to 0.6 (a new series low), FBI by 0.2 to 0.6, and FBI: MOST WANTED by 0.1 to 0.6.
