The second at-bat was stronger for the WORLD SERIES.
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.
FOX: Game 2 of the WORLD SERIES climbed a full point from Tuesday to 3.9, particularly impressive became the 2016 Game 2 fell half a point from Game 1. The preliminary rating was still down a point from 2016, but Tuesday’s game had a large adjustment upward in finals (the 2016 final for Game 2 was down 0.1), so that gap may narrow.
CBS: SURVIVOR was down 0.1 to 1.7, and SEAL TEAM was also down 0.1, which put it at a new low 1.0. CRIMINAL MINDS held at 1.0.
ABC: THE GOLDBERGS dropped 0.1 to 1.4, and SPEECHLESS stayed at 1.1. MODERN FAMILY held at 1.7, while AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE was down 0.1 to 1.3. DESIGNATED SURVIVOR was stable at 0.8.
NBC: THE BLACKLIST (0.9), SUV (1.2) and CHICAGO PD (1.1) were all steady.
CW: RIVERDALE held at 0.6, but DYNASTY fell 0.1 to a new low 0.2.
