More preseason football.
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: BIG BROTHER was the night’s highest-rated show, up 0.1 from last Sunday to 2.0. The rest of the night was quieter: 60 MINUTES up 0.2 to 0.9, and after a 0.5 MADAM SECRETARY rerun, BRAINDEAD steady at 0.3.
NBC: Following an 0.8 special about Peyton Manning, SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL had a preliminary 1.7.
ABC: The night started with a WE DAY special at 0.3. Then the season finale of CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD dropped 0.2 to 1.0, THE $100,000 PYRAMID held at 1.0, and MATCH GAME was steady at 0.9.
FOX: Reruns, topped by THE SIMPSONS at 1.2 (which was aided by a 1.7 lead-in from a PRESEASON NFL overrun).
