SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2.19.2020

 

A big bump for the DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DEBATE.

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.

NBC:  The latest DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DEBATE was at 1.8, way up from the 1.1 for the last debate on ABC.  (The number will also likely rise in finals.)  The night started with a rerun CHICAGO MED, currently at 0.8.
