The Sked: Thursday Network Scorecard 12.28.2017

 

NBC seems to be bailing on GREAT NEWS.

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 follows the chart.

NBC:  The network weirdly stuck a new episode of GREAT NEWS in the middle of an otherwise entirely rerun-laden night.  Not surprisingly, it was DOA at 0.4, the same as the reruns that surrounded it (except the SUPERSTORE rerun was at 0.5).

FOX:  The documentary CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP: A BAD BOY STORY was at 0.5.

ABC:  Reruns at 0.6-0.7.

CBS:  Sitcom reruns at 1.1-1.5, thanks to the strength of BIG BANG THEORY even without oroginal episodes, and a rerun of SWAT at 0.8.

CW:  A rerun of the IHEARTRADIO MUSIC FESTIVAL special at 0.3.

Only the newsmagazines are new on the broadcast networks tonight.

NBC:  Reruns at

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