THE VOICE was dominant but diminished.
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: THE VOICE easily took the night at 3.0, but that was down more than 20% from the 3.8 it scored on its first Tuesday of 2015. With almost the double the lead-in of any other network’s coverage, NBC’s Super Tuesday news hour smashed the other networks with 1.5.
ABC: The season finales of THE MUPPETS and AGENT CARTER did nothing to aid their causes, as 2 episodes of MUPPETS were at 0.9/0.8 after 0.8 for one episode last week, and AGENT CARTER fell 0.1 to 0.7. Super Tuesday coverage was at 0.6.
CBS: NCIS dropped 0.4 against THE VOICE to 2.0, and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS was down 0.2 to 1.6. The Super Tuesday hour was at 0.8.
FOX: NEW GIRL and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE each lost 0.1 to 1.1 and 0.8, while GRANDFATHERED and THE GRINDER held at 0.8/0.6.
CW: A rerun of the WORLD DOG AWARDS was at 0.3.
ABC gives its sitcom THE REAL O’NEALS a splashy start tonight, with episodes airing before and after a new MODERN FAMILY, trying to boost it before next Tuesday’s timeslot premiere. On cable, Sundance launches HAP AND LEONARD.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
