A lead-in from THE VOICE always helps.
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.
FOX: EMPIRE is still a massive hit, but no longer superhuman. It fell a considerable 0.4 last night to a new season low 4.2. Lead-in ROSEWOOD was comparatively steady, down 0.1 to 1.4.
NBC: A special edition of THE VOICE was inserted into the 8PM line-up at 2.4, doubling last week’s MYSTERIES OF LAURA score in that slot, and elevating SVU by half a point to 2.0. The halo effect extended to CHICAGO PD, up 0.2 to 1.6.
ABC: THE MIDDLE returned from its CMA break steady at 2.0, and THE GOLDBERGS was down 0.1 to 2.1. MODERN FAMILY, airing its first new episode in 3 weeks, was at 2.7, and BLACK-ISH held at 1.9. NASHVILLE got no bump from the big plot development that ended its last episode, declining 0.1 to 1.0.
CBS: SURVIVOR, CRIMINAL MINDS and CODE BLACK all rose 0.1, respectively to 2.1, 1.6 and 1.3.
CW: ARROW fell 0.2 to 0.9 and SUPERNATURAL gained 0.1 to 0.7.
2 BROKE GIRLS has its belated season premiere tonight after MOM. On cable, Lifetime launches the spin-off PROJECT RUNWAY JUNIOR.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
