The return of THE ORVILLE.
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: As it did in September 2017, the network gave THE ORVILLE a premiere boost with a Sunday post-NFL airing. THE ORVILLE was down a full point from the preliminary rating for that night to 1.3, but the football lead-in was also much lower, with 4.1 for the game overrun and 2.3 for THE OT post-game show, compared to 2017’s 5.9/4.2. Once THE ORVILLE settled in on Thursdays, it was at an unspectacular but steady 0.9-1.0 level, and we’ll see whether that holds to form later this week. The night ended with sitcom reruns at 0.6/0.4.
NBC: SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was at a preliminary 4.0, down 0.6 from last week’s early number.
CBS: After a 60 MINUTES that was down 0.9 from last week’s NFL-aided rating to 1.1, reruns were at 0.6/0.4.
ABC: A night of AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS reruns at 0.6-0.8.
CW: A rerun of the IHEARTRADIO MUSIC FESTIVAL at 0.2.
New Year’s Eve festivities will occupy NBC, ABC and FOX tonight, with reruns elsewhere.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
