NOTE: ABC numbers below could be inflated somewhat by a local pre-emption in Kansas City for NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (which aired nationally on ESPN). NBC numbers below also include a local pre-emption for NFL MNF in Baltimore, where the NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS was shifted to WBAL digital channel 2 and also available on WRC Washington in parts of the Baltimore market. The cleaned-up program ratings will be available this afternoon.
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).
