The number of networks offering fresh programming is dwindling as we head to the holidays.
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: Unlike Monday’s performance show, the cycle finale of THE VOICE was down from 2014, by 0.4 to 2.9. The night started with a 1.8 clip hour.
CBS: Defying the trends, CBS returned to new episodes after 2 consecutive Tuesdays of reruns and specials. NCIS was down 0.1 from 3 weeks ago to 2.1, and both NCIS: NEW ORLEANS and LIMITLESS were steady at 1.6 and 1.3.
ABC: Reruns of holiday specials topped by 1.1 for TOY STORY THAT TIME FORGOT, followed by a SHARK TANK rerun at 0.8.
FOX: Reruns, led by 0.6 for the 8PM GRANDFATHERED.
CW: Reruns, headed by 0.3 for THE FLASH.
SURVIVOR airs its cycle finale tonight, and NASHVILLE has one of its “On the Record” concert/interview specials. On cable, Syfy follows the final 2 hours of CHILDHOOD’S END with an early run of the pilot for THE MAGICIANS, which officially premieres in January.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
