Adding THE VOICE to a night always livens things up.
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.
NBC: A special Thursday episode of THE VOICE was the highest-rated show of the night at 2.3, down 0.3 from Tuesday’s installment. That big lead-in pushed CHICAGO MED up half a point from its last airing to 1.7, and even THE BLACKLIST: REDEMPTION gained 0.2 to 1.0.
ABC: The 3rd chapter of WHEN WE RISE was down another 0.1 from Wednesday to a woeful 0.5, the same as the PEOPLE BEHIND THE STORY documentary hour that preceded it.
FOX: After MASTERCHEF JR dropped 0.1 to 1.1, the season finale of MY KITCHEN RULES rose 0.1 to 0.8.
CW: SUPERNATURAL held at 0.6, and RIVERDALE was up 0.1 to 0.4.
CBS: The night started with a quartet of sitcom reruns, featuring two BIG BANG THEORY episodes at 1.6/1.5. Then TRAINING DAY (the first episode to air since the death of star Bill Paxton) was up 0.2 to 0.8.
ABC has one more episode of WHEN WE RISE to endure tonight. In other low-rated news, NBC airs the season (and presumable series) finale of EMERALD CITY.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
