The night’s two big franchises continued to dominate.
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: Another installment of the US OLYMPIC TRIALS, this time at 1.2, pushed AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR to 9PM. That didn’t hurt NINJA, which gained 0.1 to 1.9.
ABC: THE BACHELORETTE lost 0.1 to 2.0, but still narrowly led the night. MISTRESSES remained at 0.7.
FOX: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE rose 0.1 to 0.9, but HOUDINI & DOYLE remained at 0.4.
CBS: After reruns at 0.9/0.9 and 0.7, BRAINDEAD was steady at 0.5.
CW: A night of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY reruns at 0.4-0.5, although those numbers may be inflated by local baseball preemptions.
ZOO returns to CBS tonight with back-to-back hours. On cable, retro thriller DEAD OF SUMMER premieres on Freeform.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
