SHOWBUZZDAILY MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10.5.2020

NOTE: The ABC numbers below will decline slightly in the official nationals this afternoon because of local pre-emptions in Kansas City and Milwaukee for NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (aired nationally on ESPN). The CBS numbers below for the NFL special game (rescheduled from Sunday afternoon) will rise in the official nationals when live viewing on the West Coast from 4-7PM PT is added. 

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 and comparisons follow the chart.

ABC:  Currently DANCING WITH THE STARS is down 0.2 to 0.9, and EMERGENCY CALL is steady at 0.6.

CBS:  The preliminary rating for the special MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL game was 3.3.

NBC:  A DECISION 2020 TOWN HALL was at 0.5, and AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR was down 0.1 to 0.4 compared to its last episode 2 weeks ago.

FOX:  LA’S FINEST dropped 0.1 to 0.3, and FILTHY RICH held at 0.3.

CW:  The new WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY was at 0.2, followed by a rerun at 0.1, and PENN & TELLER: FOOL US was at 0.2.

Tonight, FOX premieres NEXT (like FILTHY RICH, a show that was produced for last season and put on the shelf), CW begins airing SWAMP THING, originally produced for streaming, and ABC has Game 4 of the NBA FINALS.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.

Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Accurate program ratings will be available this afternoon with the broadcast finals.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top Monday cable programs and broadcast finals.
