Due to MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL simulcasts in Baltimore and Boston, ABC and NBC ratings will likely dip 0.1-0.2 in final numbers.
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).
Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.
NBC: The first part of THE VOICE cycle finale is currently at 2.2, but will probably lose its 0.1 edge over last week’s episode, and will be way behind the 3.2 for last year’s parallel episode. TIMELESS is currently steady at 1.2.
CBS: KEVIN CAN WAIT dropped 0.1 to 1.4, and MAN WITH A PLAN stayed at 1.2. 2 BROKE GIRLS was down 0.1 to 1.2, and THE ODD COUPLE, returning after 2 weeks off, held at 1.0. SCORPION was also back after 2 weeks away, and down 0.1 to 1.1.
ABC: THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT is currently at 1.3, and it was followed by a rerun of THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW, which for now is at 0.8.
CW: After a 0.3 rerun of GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER, GREATEST HOLIDAY COMMERCIALS COUNTDOWN was at 0.2.
FOX: Reruns at 0.5/0.5.
NBC airs the conclusion of the cycle finale of THE VOICE tonight, while ABC/Disney synergizes with a primetime repeat of last week’s JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE that featured the cast of ROGUE ONE.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
