Lots of live events will likely mean lots of adjustments in final ratings tomorrow.
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: The EMMY AWARDS have a preliminary 2.1 rating, which is down 0.4 from the 2016 early number (adjusted up 0.3 in finals). The telecast is on track to be the lowest-rated EMMYS ever, whih would continue the track of the last several years. The night started with 60 MINUTES, up 0.2 from last week to 1.3.
FOX: THE ORVILLE is currently at 2.6, up 0.3 from last week’s early rating, but the show began late, which will mean adjustment (as will a west coast re-airing), and also had the advantage of airing directly after the late afternoon game, rather than after the post-game round-up show. Sitcom reruns followed at 1.2/1.0.
NBC: The preliminary rating for SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is 6.4, down 1.6 from last week’s early number for the season premiere.
ABC: FUNDERDOME and THE $100,000 PYRAMID, which hadn’t aired new episodes in several weeks, were respectively at season lows 0.6/0.5. The night began with reruns of AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS (0.7) and CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD (0.6).
Tonight’s broadcast line-up includes season finales for NBC’s AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR and MIDNIGHT, TEXAS, as well as the season premiere of ABC’s DANCING WITH THE STARS.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
