Reruns led a slow pre-holiday night.
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 follows the chart. Note that comparison charts will resume with regular network programming after the holidays.
ABC: The only network to air original programming last night was probably inflated by local broadcast pre-emption for NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in Detroit (WXYZ). For now, the finales of THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT and THE GREAT HOLIDAY BAKING SHOW are both up by 0.2.
CBS: BIG BANG THEORY reruns carried the night at 1.7/1.8, and then SUPERGIRL repeated at 1.0 and SCORPION at 0.8.
NBC: Again, probably inflated by NFL pre-emption in New Orleans (WDSU). For now, its SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE clip show led the evening, running after reruns of the pilots for SUPERSTORE and TELENOVELA (which will run new episodes next Monday).
FOX: Reruns at 0.5/0.4.
CW: Reruns of PENN & TELLER: FOOL US at 0.5–which is actually a pretty decent number for CW.
NBC has a new HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT tonight, and ABC airs a THE YEAR: 2015 special, and that’s it for original programming.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
This feature will return after the holidays.
