NOTE: The chart below is incorrect as to ABC’s line-up, which replaced THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW with a rerun of THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT due to issues with one of the former’s judges.
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: OLOF’S FROZEN ADVENTURE, which until last week was playing in theaters with Disney/Pixar’s COCO, scored 1.4, and was followed by 1.1 for a rerun of DISNEY’S PREP & LANDING. As noted above, a rerun GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT ran at 9PM with a 0.7 rating.
