Afternoon football gave a jolt to FOX primetime.
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.
FOX: The lead-in from the late national NFL game was almost 2 points higher than last week’s, and that helped push THE SIMPSONS up a point to 2.7. A special hour of BOB’S BURGERS was at 1.5, and an out-of-time-slot FAMILY GUY was up 0.1 from last week to 1.2.
CBS: After 60 MINUTES slipped 0.1 to 1.1, the line-up returned from a week off, with WISDOM OF THE CROWD down 0.2 to 0.7, NCIS: LA down 0.1 to 0.8, and MADAM SECRETARY up 0.1 to 0.7.
ABC: AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS rose 0.2 to 0.9. The movie FROZEN followed at 1.2, but fans didn’t stick around for the lead-out special ENCORE, which crashed to 0.5.
NBC: The preliminary 4.9 for SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was down 0.3 from last week’s game.
The 10PM slot tonight features a preview of 2018’s THE BACHELOR and an episode of BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
