NBC didn’t give GREAT NEWS much of a (seasonal?) send-off.
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.
NBC: The 8PM hour benefited from not facing the BIG BANG THEORY twins on CBS, as SUPERSTORE rose 0.2 to 1.2, and THE GOOD PLACE was up 0.1 to 1.1. But the network chose to precede the season finale of GREAT NEWS with a 0.6 rerun of WILL AND GRACE, and GREAT NEWS fell 0.1 to an anemic 0.5. CHICAGO FIRE gained 0.1 to 1.1.
ABC: Currently, GREY’S ANATOMY is down 0.1 to 2.2 and SCANDAL is up 0.1 to 1.3, but last week those shows respectively went up and down 0.1 in finals. HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER was steady at 1.0.
FOX: THE FOUR was up 0.1 to 1.2.
CW: SUPERNATURAL held at 0.6, but ARROW slipped 0.1 to a very ordinary 0.4.
CBS: The MVP: MOST VALUABLE PERFORMER special was at 0.7, with an hour of sitcom reruns at 1.3/1.1, and a SWAT rerun at 0.7.
CBS stays in rerun mode tonight, and on cable, HBO airs the final episodes of its low-rated limited series MOSAIC.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
