NBC:  UPDATED:  In final numbers the GOLDEN GLOBES fell 0.6 from 2017 to 5.0.  In preliminary ratings, the ARRIVALS lead-in hour is currenty steady at 2.2.

CBS:  The line-up aired for the first time since December 17.  60 MINUTES, lacking an NFL lead-in, plunged 1.6 to 0.8.  WISDOM OF THE CROWD fell 0.3 to 0.7, NCIS: LA held at 0.9, and MADAM SECRETARY slipped 0.1 to 0.6.

ABC:  AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS climbed 0.5 from its last airing on December 10 (at 7PM) to 1.4, then SHARK TANK was at 1.3/1.1, up from the 0.9 for its last new episode on December 3.

FOX:  Airing for the first time since December 10, the line-up shifted about 7 minutes due to an NFL Playoffs overrun, so adjustments can be expected.  Currently, THE SIMPSONS is at 3.4, GHOSTED is at 1.8, FAMILY GUY is at 1.6, and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is at 1.1.

NBC and ABC will do battle with ESPN’s coverage of the CFP CHAMPIONSHIP GAME tonight, but the other networks are staying away.

 

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
