SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11.25.2020

 

On the night before Thanksgiving, only 2 networks aired regular programming.

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 GOLDBERGS (0.6) and AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE (0.5) each lost 0.1.  THE CONNERS (0.6) anc BLACK-ISH (0.4) were steady.  FOR LIFE gained 0.1 to 0.5.

CBS:  THE AMAZING RACE was at 0.6/0.6, compared to last week’s 0.7/0.6.  SWAT rose 0.1 to 0.4.

NBC:  The special WOMEN OF WORTH was at 0.2, and a Thanksgiving SNL clip show was at 0.5.

FOX:  Reruns at 0.5/0.4.

CW:  GILMORE GIRLS: A YEAR IN THE LIFE held at 0.1.

Thanksgiving, and NBC, find themselves unexpectedly without a primetime NFL game tonight due to a COVID postponement.  However, FOX will air off-night episodes of THE MASKED SINGER and I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE, and ABC has a WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY special.

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

Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Accurate program ratings will be available this afternoon with the broadcast finals.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back MONDAY afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top Wednesday cable programs and broadcast finals, the first in many delays caused by the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
