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.
ABC: Last night’s decisive Game 6 of the NBA FINALS is currently averaging a 7.2 fast national rating with adults 18-49, probably headed for an 8.8 adult 18-49 rating in the final nationals this afternoon (given the pattern of the last few games when west coast, particularly Bay Area, viewing is properly credited in this live-to-all-time-zone telecast). Last year’s decisive Game 5 (Miami-San Antonio) scored a 6.8 adult 18-49 rating in the official nationals for Sunday June 15, 2014.
FOX: The US vs Nigeria WOMENS WORLD CUP match had a preliminary 1.7, up 0.2 from the preliminary rating for last Friday’s game.
NBC: Despite the huge NBA competition, AMERICA’S GOT TALENT slipped just 0.1 to 2.2. I CAN DO THAT was hit harder, down 0.3 to 1.3.
CBS: Reruns, led by 0.8 for NCIS.
CW: Reruns at 0.3/0.3.
Tonight’s primetime features just a few stray hours of unscripted originals on the networks.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
