It turned out CBS didn’t even need to throw stones. ABC:  GLASS HOUSE finally premiered, and maybe the network should have broadcast the litigation papers instead.  The show’s 1.6 barely beat the sitcom reruns on CBS (actually behind Big Bang Theory in the first half-hour) and losing almost a third of its BACHELORETTE 2.3 lead-in. […]

  No news is no news. NBC:  The OLYMPIC TRIALS didn’t get the benefit of a Women’s Track & Field runoff, and came in third for its half-hour with 1.8.  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT was the highest rated show of the night (although down slightly from last week) at 2.9, and that was enough to give […]

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).

Updated London Summer Olympic ratings chart.  Preliminary 9.3 Adult 18-49 rating last night (back on track and higher than previous recent summer games on this night). Average through 12 nights now 10.3 rating, down a tenth from yesterday but still four tenths ahead of Beijing.

  Football aside, network TV’s biggest hit is THE MASKED SINGER. 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 […]

Score another nightly victory for NBC in its early roll-out.  The network averaged a 2.9 rating with Adults 18-49 from 8-11 pm last night, which got off to a solid start at 8 pm with night two of The Voice (3.9 rating for the hour, with a 3.6 rating at 8:00 and a 4.2 rating at 8:30). […]

People aren’t all that interested in renting an apartment from the devil. ABC:  666 PARK AVENUE won the battle of scripted hours at 10PM (both way behind NFL Football, of course), but it lost a third of its lead-in and had the barest of victories, 2.2 vs 2.1–natural post-premiere attrition suggest it’ll fall behind quickly.  […]

  No one at CBS misses MADE IN JERSEY. CBS:  Without Jersey breaking up the night, both CSI NY and BLUE BLOODS were up by 0.2 to 1.4, giving the latter a tie for the 10PM lead.  Even the NCIS rerun at 8PM managed a 1.2, higher than new episodes of Jersey had been doing. NBC:  Perhaps dented a bit by the stronger CBS competition, GRIMM was […]
