SHOWBUZZDAILY SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5.24.2015

 

Hardly anyone was interested in network TV on the Sunday of holiday weekend.

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.

Demo Profile 2015 SUN.24 May

FOX:  The highest rated show of the night by far was the NASCAR COCA-COLA 600 race, which was down 0.1 from last year’s preliminary number to 1.4.  (Last year’s race adjusted up 0.1 in final numbers.)

CBS:  The series finale of BATTLE CREEK stayed at 0.6, following 3 hours of reruns.  About the best that could be said was that it was up 0.2 from the MADAM SECRETARY rerun that preceded it.

NBC:  After a 2-hour DATELINE rerun at 0.7, AD: THE BIBLE CONTINUES fell 0.1 to 0.7, and AMERICAN ODYSSEY remained at last week’s series low 0.4.

ABC:  A night of reruns at 0.5-0.6.

NBC introduces its summer Mondays tonight with AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR and the new THE ISLAND, and ABC has THE BACHELORETTE after another hour of 500 QUESTIONS.  Otherwise, it’s a night of reruns.  On cable, History premieres its 10-hour miniseries TEXAS RISING, and Lifetime airs GRACE OF MONACO, which was produced for a theatrical run but never quite got there.

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