SHOWBUZZDAILY TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10.23.2018

 

Inevitably, THE CONNERS dropped.

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 CONNERS fell 0.7 to 1.7, which is no surprise given the hype for the premiere.  That’s still a strong number, so the question will be what happens next.  THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT correspondingly dropped 0.3 to 1.1.  BLACK-ISH slipped 0.1 to 0.9, while SPLITTING UP TOGETHER lost 0.2 to 0.7.  THE ROOKIE was off by 0.2 to 0.8.

FOX:  Game 1 of the WORLD SERIES was up half a point from the preliminary number for last year’s Game 1 to 3.4.  In 2017, the game rose a full point in final numbers.

NBC:  THE VOICE was down 0.2 to 1.6, THIS IS US shed 0.1 to 2.1, and NEW AMSTERDAM was also down 0.1 to 1.2.

CBS:  NCIS (1.2), FBI (1.0) and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS (0.8) were all steady.

CW:  THE FLASH held at 0.7, and BLACK LIGHTNING gained 0.1 to 0.4.

The WORLD SERIES continues tonight.  

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
