BIG BROTHER improved with a move to its regular timeslot.
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.
ABC: Reruns at 0.4-0.6.
CBS: Without a sports overrun, the new shows climbed with earlier airings, as 60 MINUTES gained 0.1 to 0.6, and BIG BROTHER climbed 0.2 to 1.0. Reruns followed at 0.3/0.3.
NBC: In preliminary numbers, CANNONBALL is up 0.1 to 0.4, and the NHL PLAYOFFS game was at 0.4.
FOX: Reruns at 0.1-0.3.
CW: FRIDGE WARS held at 0.1, followed by a SUPERNATURAL rerun at 0.0.
There will be coverage of the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION in the 10PM hour tonight on all broadcast networks except CW, with expanded telecasts on the cable news networks.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Also live events such as sporting events and major specials are usually undercounted because the fast nationals measure what was on in primetime in the Pacific Time Zone (mostly what aired after the live event ended on the West Coast). Accurate program ratings will be available Tuesday morning with the broadcast finals.
