SHOWBUZZDAILY SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7.23.2017

 

Don’t get too excited by those preliminary NBC numbers.

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.

Fast Demo 2017 Jul 23.SUN

NBC:  SUNDAY NIGHT WITH MEGYN KELLY didn’t shoot up to a 1.1 last night, and a rerun of SPARTAN didn’t hit 1.2.  The network aired an afternoon NASCAR race that ran until 9PM in much of the country, which will lead to substantial adjustments in finals.  It appears that the SPARTAN rerun didn’t air at all, and the show’s season finale began at 10PM, with a preliminary 0.5 that may be more accurate.

ABC:  After an 0.7 rerun of AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS, CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD (1.1), FUNDERDOME (0.8) and THE $100,000 PYRAMID (0.8) were all steady.

CBS:  60 MINUTES rose 0.1 to 0.7, then BIG BROTHER held at 1.8.  CANDY CRUSH dropped 0.3 to 0.5.  A rerun of NCIS: LA ended the night at 0.4.

FOX:  AMERICAN GRIT stayed at 0.4, preceded by animated reruns at 0.3-06. 

Primetime tonight features a pair of network premieres:  MIDNIGHT, TEXAS on NBC, and SOMEWHERE BETWEEN (which moves to Tuesdays tomorrow) on ABC.  In addition, PEOPLE OF EARTH returns to TBS.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
