Adele is a hit on TV, too.
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 was at 3.2, up 0.4 from the 2014 fall finale. The ADELE LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY special did a superb job of holding its lead-in with 3.0.
ABC: NOTE: ABC fast nationals are inflated by local broadcast pre-emption for NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in New York (WABC). Currently, THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT is at 1.3, and THE GREAT HOLIDAY BAKING SHOW is at 1.1, both of which are up from last week, but that may change this afternoon.
CBS: NOTE: Similarly, CBS fast nationals may be inflated somewhat by another MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL pre-emption, this time in Miami (WFOR). Currently, SUPERGIRL is at 1.5, SCORPION is at 1.9 and NCIS: LA is at 1.4, which are either steady with or (in the case of SCORPION) above last week’s final numbers.
CW: Following a 0.4 rerun of CBS’s VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW, the midseason finale of JANE THE VIRGIN–its 1st new episode in 3 weeks–was steady at 0.4.
FOX: Reruns at 0.4/0.4.
NBC and CBS have fall finales tonight, while ABC is in holiday special mode and FOX/CW air reruns. On cable, Syfy continues its new CHILDHOOD’S END and THE EXPANSE, and there are season (?) finales for MTV’s FINDING CARTER and WGNAmerica’s MANHATTAN.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
