SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2.22.2017

 

In the worst possible way, there’s no longer any doubt about DOUBT.

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.

CBS:  DOUBT fell 0.2 from its low premiere to 0.6, and may not stay on the air for long.  Earlier in the evening, HUNTED (1.2) and CRIMINAL MINDS (1.3) held at last week’s numbers.

NBC:  BLINDSPOT stayed at last week’s 0.8, SVU was down 0.1 to 1.3, and CHICAGO PD was steady at 1.3.

CW:  ARROW fell 0.1 to a series low 0.5, which made THE 100’s steady 0.4 look better.

FOX:  Both LETHAL WEAPON and STAR were renewed for next season in the last few days, LETHAL lost 0.1 to 1.3, and STAR remained at 1.2.

ABC:  THE GOLDBERGS (1.7) and SPEECHLESS (1.5) were both down 0.1.  MODERN FAMILY stayed at 2.0, and BLACK-ISH gained 0.1 to 1.6.  MATCH GAME was steady at 0.9.

NBC and ABC go straight at each other tonight.  ABC has the 2-hour season finale of HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, and NBC counters with a 2-hour block of the midseason finale of THE BLACKLIST and the premiere of spin-off THE BLACKLIST:  REDEMPTION.  In addition, CMT premieres its new drama SUN RECORDS.

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