SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11.1.2017

 

Not all Game 7s are created equal.

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:  The final game of THE WORLD SERIES naturally dominated the night, but its preliminary 7.0 rating was dwarfed by last year’s 12.1 early number.

ABC:  Unlike NBC and CBS, the network chose to air its full line-up against the game, and most of the shows were dinged:  THE GOLDBERGS (1.2), SPEECHLESS (0.9), and MODERN FAMILY (1.5) each by 0.2, and AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE (1.2) by 0.1.  DESIGNATED SURVIVOR remained at last week’s 0.7.

CBS:  A new SURVIVOR dropped 0.2 to 1.5, and was followed by a pair of SEAL TEAM reruns at 0.7/0.6.

NBC:  A new episode of THE BLACKLIST stayed at 0.8, and was followed by 0.7 reruns of SVU and CHICAGO PD.

CW:  RIVERDALE (0.6) and DYNASTY (0.6) were steady.

CBS launches its post-football line-up tonight, including the series premiere of SWAT, but there’s a catch:  because the Jets are playing in tonight’s THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL game, the network will be preempted in NY, which will likely affect tomorrow morning’s early ratings.

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