NETWORK UPDATE:  The changes from Monday’s overnights were all at NBC, which had the MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL simulcast boosting its preliminary numbers.  The new episode of SUPERSTORE lost 0.1 to 0.8, and TELENOVELA was down 0.2 to 0.6.  Both will need to show more signs of life in their official “premieres” next week.  […]

        NETWORK FINALS:  SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING lost 0.1 in final numbers.         Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart     NOTE:  At this time, we have no Monday cable ratings below the Top 150.

        NETWORK FINALS:  On CBS, SURVIVOR gained 0.1 in final numbers, but MILLION DOLLAR MILE dropped the same, putting it at an unimpressive 0.9.  Elsewhere, the reruns of SCHOOLED and MODERN FAMILY each lost 0.1.  Notably, after last week’s upward adjustment, EMPIRE stayed at its new series low 1.1 (and STAR was […]

Fast national ratings indicate NBC is on track for an 8.3 rating with Adults 18-49 in prime time Saturday night, well below the same night in Beijing but on par with Athens and Sydney.  The 8.3 rating assumes NBC excluded the 8:00 half hour by delaying the national commercials until 8:30 (as it usually does […]

  BROADCAST FINALS:  Note that the length of the NBC schedule on Super Bowl Sunday cut off the other networks, so partial ratings for those are below.

  NETWORK UPDATE:  The NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME adjusted up to a tremendous 9.1, up 1.9 over last year’s championship game even without the potential for a winner with a perfect record.  Once the time zones were cleaned out, the night’s MIKE & MOLLY rerun was reduced to 1.0.  There were no other changes to this morning’s […]

  On another night riddled with football preemptions and likely to be adjusted by Monday numbers, there was little to say.  ABC’s WE DAY special went largely unseen at 0.4, and the night’s original 20/20, down 0.2 to 0.7, barely outraged its SHARK TANK rerun lead-in.  NBC’S DATELINE won the night with a paltry 1.0, […]
