SHOWBUZZDAILY SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12.30.2018

 

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.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back WEDNESDAY morning for detailed demographic ratings for top Sunday cable programs.
