The WORLD SERIES looked a bit healthier.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day 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.
FOX: Despite a blowout score, Game 2 of THE WORLD SERIES had a preliminary 2.9, steady with Game 1’s prelim and up 0.1 from 2018’s early number.
ABC: THE GOLDBERGS (0.9) and SCHOOLED (0.7) each lost 0.1. After a rerun MODERN FAMILY at 0.5, SINGLE PARENTS was down 0.1 to 0.6. The special HARRY & MEGHAN: AN AFRICAN JOURNEY was at 0.5, down 0.1 from last week’s STUMPTOWN.
CBS: SURVIVOR slipped 0.1 to 1.3, but both SEAL TEAM (0.7) and SWAT (0.6) were up 0.1, possibly because last week they had to face NBC’s CHICAGO crossover.
NBC: The other side of that coin was that without a crossover, CHICAGO FIRE was down 0.1 to 1.2, CHICAGO FIRE fell 0.3 to 1.2, and CHICAGO PD dropped 0.2 to 1.1.
CW: RIVERDALE gained 0.1 to 0.3, and NANCY DREW was steady at 0.2.
The final season of WILL & GRACE arrives tonight, sooner than expected, as NBC rushes to fill in the gap caused by the flop of SUNNYSIDE.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
