SHOWBUZZDAILY THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3.19.2020

 

The pandemic didn’t keep viewers from their favorite medical show.

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:  Gains across the board, with STATION 19 up 0.2 to 1.3, GREY’S ANATOMY up 0.3 to 1.5, and A MILLION LITTLE THINGS up 0.1 to 0.7.

NBC:  SUPERSTORE aired for the first time since February 27, up 0.3 to 0.9.  BROOKLYN NINE NINE gained 0.1 to 0.7, WILL & GRACE rose 0.2 to 0.7, and INDEBTED was up 0.1 to 0.5.  Notwithstanding the chart, a news special aired instead of SVU at 0.9.

FOX:  LAST MAN STANDING climbed 0.2 to 0.8, and both OUTMATCHED (0.6) and DEPUTY (0.6) were up 0.1.

CW:  KATY KEENE (0.1) and LEGACIES (0.2) were steady.

CBS:  The network was supposed to be airing the NCAA Tournament last night, and substituted reruns at 0.4-0.8.

Tonight, NBC’s THE BLACKLIST returns from hiatus, although as the networks attempt to conserve their remaining completed new episodes, only 1 episode will air instead of the originally scheduled pair.

 

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

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
