Demo Profile 2015 SUN.16 Aug

FOX:  The TEEN CHOICE AWARDS were steady with last year’s 0.8.

NBC:  The concert special ED SHEERAN: LIVE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM managed just the same 0.5 that the HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT rerun that preceded it had scored.  An AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR rerun followed with 1.0.

CBS:  The PGA TOURNAMENT ran half an hour into primetime, which means adjustments for the night’s primetime line-up, particularly for 60 MINUTES.  At the moment, BIG BROTHER is down 0.2 to 2.0, with reruns afterward at 0.6-0.7.

ABC:  After an 0.8 AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS rerun, both of the night’s original shows were modestly up:  BACHELOR IN PARADISE by 0.1 to 1.3, and SAVE MY LIFE by 0.1 to 0.7.

Tonight’s cable features the midseason finale of THE FOSTERS on ABCFamily.

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