SHOWBUZZDAILY FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8.17.2018

NFL PRESEASON. The fast nationals for all networks below are inflated by a one- or two-tenths of a rating point by NFL Preseason pre-emptions in the following major markets:

ABC (Cleveland, Buffalo)
CBS (Kansas City, Miami)
NBC (New York)
FOX (Detroit, New Orleans)
CW (Atlanta, Charlottte)

Since adjustments are likely to affect all networks, we’ll hold analysis for final numbers on Monday.

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).

NFL preemptions will continue tonight.  On Sunday, NBC has the series finale of SHADES OF BLUE, and Showtime airs the season finale of THE AFFAIR.
