SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4.8.2020

 

MODERN FAMILY had a big exit, but not big enough to top THE MASKED SINGER.

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:  A MODERN FAMILY retrospective special was at 1.3, and then the 1-hour finale was at 1.6, up 0.7 from its last new episode and up 0.6 from the 2019 finale.  The reboot premiere of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE was solid at 1.1.

CBS:  SURVIVOR slipped 0.1 to 1.5.  Returning from a week off, SEAL TEAM (0.7) and SWAT (0.5) were steady.

NBC:  Returning from a rerun week, CHICAGO MED dropped 0.2 to 1.2, and both CHICAGO FIRE (1.2) and CHICAGO PD (1.1) were down 0.1.

FOX:  THE MASKED SINGER dropped 0.4 from last week’s 2-hour episode, but at 2.0 it still easily won the night.  LEGO MASTERS returned from the week off up 0.1 to 1.2.

CW:  After a rerun of THE FLASH at 0.1, the first new NANCY DREW since March 11 was steady at 0.1.

Tonight’s de facto season finale is ABC’s GREY’S ANATOMY, 4 episodes before its originally scheduled conclusion. 

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

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
