Some modest declines.
Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Accurate program ratings will be available later this afternoon.
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: The season finale of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE was steady at 0.9, while HOLEY MOLEY (0.7) and TO TELL THE TRUTH (0.6) each lost 0.1.
CBS: MAN WITH A PLAN held at 0.6, and BROKE dropped 0.1 to 0.5. The night’s reruns were at 0.3-0.6.
NBC: COUNCIL OF DADS (0.4) and BLINDSPOT (0.3) were steady. Notwithstanding the chart, they were followed by the news special AMERICA IN CRISIS at 0.3.
FOX: CELEBRITY WATCH PARTY stayed at 0.4, and LABOR OF LOVE fell 0.1 to 0.2.
CW: BURDEN OF TRUTH (0.1) and IN THE DARK (0.1) were steady.
Neither of these may register on our Top 150 chart, but tonight on cable HBO’s BETTY airs its season finale, and Cinemax launches the South African crime drama TRACKERS.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
