The EMMY AWARDS didn’t bode well for the season to come.
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: The preliminary 1.5 for the EMMY AWARDS was down 0.6 from the early numbers from 2018 (-29%), and although last year’s awards aired on a Monday, its rating was steady with the Sunday broadcast in 2017. The night started with the RED CARPET special at a preliminary 1.4, which started late after a football overrun, so it’s likely to be adjusted in finals.
NBC: The preliminary 5.4 for SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was up 0.1 from last week’s early number.
CBS: The schedule slid due to football overruns, so the 1.6 for 60 MINUTES and the 1.0 for BIG BROTHER may shift. The night ended with a rerun NCIS: LA at 0.6.
ABC: CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD fell 0.2 to 0.6, and both THE $100,000 PYRAMID (0.5) and TO TELL THE TRUTH (0.4) dropped 0.1.
CW: Reruns at 0.2/0.1.
The new season begins tonight, with a quartet of newcomers: sitcom BOB LOVES ABISHOLA on CBS, legal procedurals ALL RISE on CBS and BLUFF CITY LAW on NBC, and serial killer thriller PRODIGAL SON on FOX.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
