NETWORK FINALS: THE MASKED SINGER, THE GOLDBERGS, BLACK-ISH, and the CBS and NBC news specials all gained 0.1 in final numbers. As we mentioned this morning, the 9PM hour on CBS wasn’t filled with a new episode of THE AMAZING RACE but rather by a SWAT rerun.
Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Note that we don’t currently have access to ratings below the Top 150, so we won’t be able to respond to requests at this time. This means, among other things, that we don’t have numbers for BET Her or BARONESS VON SKETCH on IFC.
