Disappointing results for the high-profile newcomers.
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: Episodes of TO TELL THE TRUTH bookended the night at 0.5/0.4, compared to last week’s 8PM hour at 0.65. BLACK-ISH slipped 0.1 to 0.5, and MIXED-ISH held at 0.4.
CBS: Reruns at 0.4/0.4/0.3.
NBC: Both YOUNG ROCK (0.7) and KENAN (0.5) fell 0.3 from last week’s premieres. Afterward, THIS IS US dropped 0.2 to 0.9, and the season finale of NURSES was steady at 0.3.
FOX: Reruns at 0.2/0.2.
CW: Despite all the hype the network could muster, SUPERMAN & LOIS debuted at a so-so 0.3. The only good news was that the number stayed consistent through the 90-minute pilot and 30-minute promo special, so with THE FLASH as its lead-out in future weeks it may hold at that level.
Tonight, ABC airs the season finale of FOR LIFE, and FX has the 2-episode season premiere of SNOWFALL.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Accurate program ratings will be available with the broadcast finals.
