Summer programming continued to run down.
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: The season finale of BACHELOR IN PARADISE was up 0.2 from last Tuesday to 1.6, and the AFTER-SHOW was also up 0.2 to 1.1. An out-ot-time-slot MISTRESSES finale aired at 10PM with 0.6, 0.1 above its Monday rating.
CBS: After a 0.9 NCIS rerun, back-to-back finale episodes of ZOO were at 0.8/0.6, sandwiching last week’s 0.7, but considerably below last season’s 1.0 finale.
NBC: All the finales were dwarfed by AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, steady with last week’s 2.6. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER was also steady at 1.6.
CW: MADTV lost 0.1 to 0.2, below the 0.3 for the rerun of THE FLASH that preceded it.
FOX: Reruns at 0.4/0.4.
Tonight’s finales include AMERICAN GOTHIC and TYRANT, and NBC airs a COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF FORUM.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
