SHOWBUZZDAILY FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8.9.2019

 

NOTE: CBS, NBC and FOX numbers below inflated slightly by a few major-market pre-emptions for NFL Preseason games.

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).

Ratings analysis follows the chart.

ABC:  This network didn’t have football preemptions, so these numbers should be fairly firm:  the WE DAY special at 0.3 (down 0.2 from last year’s edition), the season premiere of WHAT WOULD YOU DO at 0.5 (down 0.1 from the May 2018 premiere), and 20/20 up 0.1 from last week to 0.5.

CW:  Likewise, MASTERS OF ILLUSION may stay up 0.1 to 0.2, and THE BIG STAGE steady at 0.1.  A HYPNOTIZE ME rerun was at 0.1.

NBC:  DATELINE is currently steady at 0.5, with an AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR rerun at 0.6.

CBS:  The night’s reruns are currently at 0.4 across the board.

FOX:  Reruns, currently at 0.5/0.5.

Tonight, HBO airs the special MY FAVORITE SHAPES.  On Sunday, FOX has the TEEN CHOICE 2019 special, HBO’s SUCCESSION returns, and there are finales for CLAWS and Showtime’s THE LOUDEST VOICE. 

 

CABLE RATINGS: Come back Monday for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
