In most of the country, FOX’s schedule slipped a few minutes due to NFL overrun, which will likely lead to adjustments tomorrow.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day 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.
FOX: Thanks to the giant NFL PLAYOFFS lead-in, current numbers for the rest of the line-up exploded from last week, and will stay very high after adjustment: THE SIMPSONS is at 3.8, BOB’S BURGERS at 2.2, FAMILY GUY at 1.8, and the season finale of REL is at 1.1.
ABC: Once again, the network paired rerun and new episodes of AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS (0.8/1.3 compared to 0.6/0.9) and SHARK TANK (0.7/1.1 compared to 0.6/0.9).
CBS: 60 MINUTES slipped 0.1 to 0.7, then GOD FRIENDED ME (0.9), NCIS: LA (0.9) and MADAM SECRETARY (0.6) were steady.
CW: The CRITICS CHOICE AWARDS were at 0.3, steady with last year’s telecast (which aired on a Thursday).
NBC: A run of HARRY POTTER & THE SORCERER’S STONE was at 0.6, then an episode of DATELINE was at 0.5.
Tonight, FOX premieres its horror series THE PASSAGE.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
