A very big night for 60 MINUTES.
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.
CBS: Overtime in its late NCAA TOURNAMENT game pushed the line-up, so the network’s ratings are subject to adjustment, but it was all to 60 MINUTES’ benefit. The game provided a huge lead-in for the show’s high-profile interview with Stormy Daniels, resulting in a preliminary 4.0, almost triple last week’s rating. That helped INSTINCT rise 0.4 to 1.4, although NCIS: LA (1.0) and MADAM SECRETARY (0.7) were each up only 0.1.
ABC: The night started with a steady 0.9 for AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS, then AMERICAN IDOL lost 0.1 to 1.7. DECEPTION held at 0.8.
NBC: After 0.5 for a rerun LITTLE BIG SHOTS, the night’s new episode dropped 0.2 to 0.9. GENIUS JUNIOR fell 0.3 to 0.7, and TIMELESS was down 0.1 to 0.6.
FOX: Following 0.5 for a BOB’S BURGERS rerun, a new episode remained at 0.8. THE SIMPSONS gained 0.2 to 1.0, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE was steady at 0.9, FAMILY GUY lost 0.1 to 0.9, and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH stayed at 0.7.
Tonight is a big one for historical thrillers, as AMC’s THE TERROR has its official 2-hour premiere, and TNT’s THE ALIENIST comes to its end. On HBO, Judd Apatow’s passion project THE ZEN DIARIES OF GARRY SHANDLING airs its first 2 hours.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
