Football swamped the rest.
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.
ABC: AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS was steady at 0.7, SUPERMARKET SWEEP fell 0.2 to 0.7, WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE lost 0.1 to 0.5, and CARD SHARKS held at 0.3.
CBS: 60 MINUTES was way down to 0.8 (last week had the afternoon national NFL game as lead-in and a widely-reported Trump interview), and a run of the movie STAR TREK BEYOND was at 0.4.
NBC: The preliminary 3.9 for SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was up 0.3 from last week’s early number.
FOX: The network always makes sure that the afternoon national NFL game leads into the TREEHOUSE OF HORROR episode of THE SIMPSONS, and that resulted in a preliminary 2.2 for the show, up 0.2 from the last episode (the season premiere) to have that lead-in. Also compared to that night, BLESS THE HARTS was up 0.1 to 0.9, and both BOB’S BURGERS (0.7) and FAMILY GUY (0.7) were steady.
CW: PANDORA fell 0.1 to zero, and a rerun WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY was at 0.1.
Tonight, ABC has the season premiere of THE GOOD DOCTOR, and NBC airs an SNL Election Eve compilation special.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Also live events such as sporting events and major specials are usually undercounted because the fast nationals measure what was on in primetime in the Pacific Time Zone (mostly what aired after the live event ended on the West Coast). Accurate program ratings will be available Tuesday morning with the broadcast finals.
