NOTE: ABC’s DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DEBATE also aired on Univision, not included in the ABC numbers below. In addition, FOX’s numbers below include the local broadcast of NFL THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in Charlotte (aired nationally on NFL Network). Time-zone adjusted numbers for each program will be available 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 preliminary 1.9 rating for the latest DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DEBATE was equal to the early number for Night 2 of NBC’s June debate, which featured more of the major candidates (it was up 0.3 from Night 1), and which increased to 2.1 in finals.
FOX: As noted above, the preliminary 0.5 for regional MLB BASEBALL with a local NFL preemption will be subject to adjustment this afternoon.
CBS: BIG BROTHER was steady at 1.1, preceded by sitcom reruns at 0.6/0.6, and followed by an FBI rerun at 0.4.
CW: THE OUTPOST gained 0.1 to 0.2, and both the new and rerun episodes of TWO SENTENCE HORROR STORIES were steady at 0.1/0.1.
