The CMA AWARDS won the night, but sank badly.
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.
ABC: The 2.1 for the CMA AWARDS was a new low, down an enormous 1.2 from the 2017 edition.
CBS: SURVIVOR dropped 0.2 to 1.4, and both SEAL TEAM (0.8) and CRIMINAL MINDS (0.7) were down 0.1.
NBC: CHICAGO MED (1.2) and CHICAGO FIRE (1.3) were steady, while CHICAGO PD lost 0.1 to 1.0.
FOX: EMPIRE slipped 0.1 to 1.4, and STAR remained at 1.1.
