If the answer is “JEOPARDY,” the question is “What is ABC’s best ratings news in quite a while?”
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day 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: JEOPARDY! THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME dipped 0.2 to 2.2. It was helpful to lead-out TRUTH & LIES: JEFFREY EPSTEIN for the first half-hour, but that dwindled over the special’s 2-hour length for a 1.1 rating.
