Last night’s exhibition football preemptions will keep several networks’ numbers somewhat unclear until this afternoon.
ABC: The 2-hour ROOKIE BLUE season finale is currently at 1.1, up 0.2 from last week (and up 0.1 from last season’s finale), but the network was preempted in Philadelphia, so it’s unclear whether that will hold up. Similarly, THE QUEST at 8PM is now at 0.7, up 0.2 from last week.
CBS: The preempting city was Pittsburgh for CBS, and as of now BIG BROTHER is up 0.1 to 2.3. THE BIG BANG THEORY, as usual, led the night’s reruns, although its 1.7 may shift this afternoon.
NBC: The cities at issue were Indianapolis and Jacksonville, possibly shifting the rating for the night’s double-bill of new WELCOME TO SWEDEN episodes, currently at 0.7 (up 0.2). The highest number of the night as of now is 0.9 for a HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT rerun.
FOX: The only major network unaffected by preemptions aired BONES reruns at 0.6/0.9.
CW: Reruns at 0.2/0.2.
CBS has a national preseason football game tonight, and apart from MASTERS OF ILLUSION on CW and 20/20 on ABC, that’s it for fresh programming.
