SHOWBUZZDAILY TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5.31.2016

 

MAYA & MARTY was helped by a strong lead-in.

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:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT remains a cornerstone of summer network TV, with a 2.5 season premiere that was just 0.1 off the pace of its 2015 debut.  That gave MAYA & MARTY a solid lead-in for a 1.5 premiere, a very good number for a summer 10PM series, but the fact that the rating slipped from 1.8 in the first half-hour to 1.3 in the second indicates that viewer enthusiasm was soft.

ABC:  500 QUESTIONS was up 0.2 from Friday’s airing at 0.9, and was followed by 0.7 reruns.

CBS:  After 0.9/1.0 reruns, PERSON OF INTEREST rose 0.1 from last Tuesday to 1.0.

FOX:  HOTEL HELL and COUPLED held at last week’s 0.8/0.5.

CW:  CONTAINMENT, airing after a 0.4 rerun of THE FLASH, fell 0.1 to 0.4.

AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR, THE NIGHT SHIFT and MASTERCHEF return to the summer line-ups tonight, and 500 QUESTIONS finishes its limited run.

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