SHOWBUZZDAILY FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5.26.2017

 

Not much to say.

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 follows the chart.

Fast Demo 2017 May 26.FRI

NBC:  The season finale of FIRST DATES was steady with last week’s 0.7, and DATELINE was down 0.1 to 0.8.

ABC:  After a pair of 0.7 SHARK TANK reruns, 20/20 held last week’s 0.6.

FOX:  The network reran Thursday’s unscripted premieres at 0.6/0.6.

CBS:  Procedural reruns at 0.5-0.6.

CW:  Reruns of PENN & TELLER: FOOL US at 0.3/0.4, better than last week’s original episodes of THE ORIGINALS and REIGN. Please note: the CW numbers are inflated by a major local pre-emption in New York (Yankees baseball on WPIX). The numbers will come down a tenth of a rating point or more in the official nationals.

The rest of the weekend will continue to feature very little original programming, aside from some primetime sports (MLB, NASCAR).

CABLE RATINGS: Come back Tuesday afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top Friday cable programs, a day later than normal because of Memorial Day.
