BROADCAST FINALS
ABC: SHARK TANK dropped a tenth to 0.46, and 20/20 was up 0.03 to 0.43.
CBS: BIG BROTHER: CELEBRITY EDITION fell 0.11 from Thursday to 0.38. A BLUE BLOODS rerun followed at 0.29.
NBC: The WINTER OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY was at 1.97, a dismal 70% plunge from the 2018 Ceremony. (Note that NBC’s in-house calculation of total viewership on all of its platforms shows a much bigger number, up almost 50% from the 10.8M below. However, NBC provides no demographic breakdown of its total, and even if the 18-49 demo were up 50% from the linear number, that would still be down more than 50% from 2018.)
FOX: WWE SMACKDOWN dipped 0.05 to 0.51.
CW: Reruns at 0.08/0.05.
