Retro is in.
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.
ABC: A comfort food line-up of rebooted vintage game shows did very well. CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD started the night at 1.5 (albeit down from its 2.4 2015 premiere and 2.0 finale), then THE $100,000 PYRAMID grew to 1.7, and MATCH GAME wasn’t far behind at 1.5.
CBS: After a 0.8 60 MINUTES (up 0.2 from last week), BIG BROTHER had its Sunday season premiere at 1.5, followed by a pair of 0.3 reruns.
NBC: The US OLYMPIC TRIALS returned at 0.7/1.0, up from Saturday’s trio, which peaked at 0.8. The P&G GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS were up half a point from Friday’s installment at 1.4.
FOX: The network is still burning off COOPER BARRETT’S GUIDE TO SURVIVING LIFE episodes, with 0.3 last night. That was followed by a line-up of reruns, topped by 0.6s for THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY.
The US OLYMPIC TRIALS continue tonight. On cable, AMC’s TURN airs its season finale.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
