The CMA AWARDS rebounded, to an extent.
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.
ABC: The CMA AWARDS were up 0.4 to 3.3 compared to 2016, although that faced off against Game 7 of the World Series. The Awards were still down 0.4 from their 2015 mark.
CBS: SURVIVOR was steady at 1.6. The network opted for 9-11PM reruns against baseball last week, and compared to 2 weeks ago, SEAL TEAM and CRIMINAL MINDS wer both down 0.1 to 0.9.
NBC: THE BLACKLIST remained at 0.9. Like CBS, NBC aired 9-11PM reruns last week, and compared to 2 weeks ago, SVU was down 0.1 to 1.1, and CHICAGO PD fell 0.2 to 0.9.
FOX: Returning after 2 weeks of World Series games, EMPIRE held at 1.8, and STAR was down 0.1 to 1.2.
CW: RIVERDALE slipped 0.1 to 0.5. Proving once again that ratings rules aren’t what they used to be, the newly-backordered DYNASTY stayed at 0.2.
THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL switches to NBC tonight, and on ABC, GREY’S ANATOMY celebrates its 300th episode.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
