SHOWBUZZDAILY SATURDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8.29.2015

 

Fans of HANNIBAL shouldn’t get too excited about its preliminary 0.8 series finale rating.  NFL PRESEASON coverage made these early numbers all but worthless, with preemptions that included ABC in Cleveland (CLE-TB) and Baltimore (WAS-BAL), NBC in New York (NYJ-NYG) and Washington DC (WAS-BAL), and FOX in Chicago (CHI-CIN) and Minneapolis (MIN-DAL).  We’ll look at the real numbers on Tuesday when finals are released.

Tonight’s event is the MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS, hosted by controversy-magnet Miley Cyrus.  In addition, FALLING SKIES ends its intergalactic war on TNT.

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).
