Night 14 of the OLYMPICS dipped again, although not as badly as parallel nights in other Summer Games.
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 Olympics comparisons follow the chart.
NBC: The RIO SUMMER OLYMPICS fell 0.1 to 5.7, a new 18-49 low for these Games. However, the Night 14 drops in London (2.4) and Athens (1.2) were much worse. If the other recent Summer Olympics are any guide, the numbers will continue dropping.
CBS: Preseason NFL games may have skewed the night’s other preliminary ratings. Currently BIG BROTHER is up 0.2 to 1.9, with the night’s reruns topped by THE BIG BANG THEORY’s 1.4.
CW: MY LAST DAYS remained at 0.2, below the 0.3 for the LEGENDS OF TOMORROW rerun that preceded it.
ABC: Reruns were led by BATTLEBOTS at 0.8.
FOX: Reruns are currently at 0.8.
