Welcome to Summer TV.
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.
FOX: A pair of much-hyped new unscripted series had OK starts, with BEAT SHAZAM at 1.2, and LOVE CONNECTION at 1.1.
NBC: The network has been reducing its RED NOSE DAY special year to year, from 3-hours in 2015 (0.8 rating) to 2 hours last year (0.6), and now to 1 hour, at 0.7. Special themed episodes of AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR (1.1) and RUNNING WILD (0.9) aired as lead-ins.
CBS: THE AMAZING RACE fell 0.2 from last week to 0.6. A quartet of sitcom reruns aired earlier, topped by THE BIG BANG THEORY at 0.9.
ABC: Reruns, led by one of the MODERN FAMILY episodes at 0.7.
CW: Reruns at 0.2/0.2.
What with the end of the regular season and the start of a long weekend, the solitary piece of original programming on the networks tonight is an episode of FIRST DATES on NBC. Netflix, though, is having a busy day, with premieres of the final season of BLOODLINE and the original Brad Pitt movie WAR MACHINE.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
