2016 was a different ratings world from 2020, and that was reflected in the preliminary ratings for the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, which were at a preliminary 0.2-0.3, compared to 0.5-1.0 4 years ago. (On that same night in 2016, THE BACHELORETTE was at 1.9 and AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR was at 1.6, which would be blockbuster numbers today.)
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.
