NBC did November sweeps the old school way last night.
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.
NBC: A special edition of THE VOICE at 2.5 was almost double the rating MYSTERIES OF LAURA delivered in that hour last week (although below typical VOICE ratings on Monday/Tuesday). It created a terrific platform for the remainder of the SVU/CHICAGO PD crossover, and those two shows were each up a huge 0.8 from last week, respectively to 2.4 and 2.2. (Note: an NBA preemption in Portland might affect these numbers slightly when final ratings are released this afternoon.)
ABC: THE MIDDLE was up 0.1 to 1.9, and THE GOLDBERGS was down 0.1 to 2.1. MODERN FAMILY fell 0.4 to a season low 3.1, while BLACK-ISH dropped 0.2 to 2.5. NASHVILLE remained steady at 1.4.
CBS: SURVIVOR remained at 2.3. Even with stronger than usual competition, CRIMINAL MINDS impressively climbed 0.2 to 2.1 (the latter number, though, was its all-time low), but STALKER lost 0.1 to 1.4.
FOX: HELL’S KITCHEN gained 0.2 to 1.5, but RED BAND SOCIETY stayed at 0.9.
CW: ARROW dropped 0.2 to 0.9, yet THE 100 rose 0.1 to 0.6.
As sweeps continue, the network have a full set of fresh episodes in their line-ups tonight.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
