A pair of unscripted veterans dominated the night.
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.
CBS: SURVIVOR was down 0.1 from last week, but at 2.1 it was still the highest rated show of the night. A VICTORIA’S SECRET SWIM SPECIAL didn’t arouse more than 0.7, and CSI: CYBER’s 2d Wednesday airing (with a much lower lead-in) was down 0.2 to 1.0.
NBC: A clip show from THE VOICE was at 2.0, but even with that solid lead-in, a preview of THE CARMICHAEL SHOW was so-so at 1.1, with a rerun episode following at 0.7.
FOX: ROSEWOOD stayed at 0.9, but with less competition in the 9PM hour from CBS and ABC, HELL’S KITCHEN rose 0.2 to 1.2.
ABC: 2 hours of sitcom reruns (topped by 1.2s for MODERN FAMILY and BLACKISH) were followed by the season finale of AMERICAN CRIME, up 0.1 to 0.9.
CW: Reruns at 0.3/0.3.
All the networks are new tonight, with the exception of a SVU rerun in the BLACKLIST slot on NBC.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
