New arrivals didn’t change very much.
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: The premiere of CRIMINAL MINDS: BEYOND BORDERS slipped 0.3 from its parental lead-in, giving it a 1.6 that’s fine for a 10PM show but not exciting, especially since its main competition, NBC’s CHICAGO PD, aired a rerun. CRIMINAL MINDS itself was steady at 1.9 with its last airing 2 weeks ago. The night started with SURVIVOR, which held last week’s 2.1.
ABC: The midseason premiere of NASHVILLE, featuring a long-awaited wedding, eked out a 0.1 increase over the fall finale to 0.9, tying last week’s season finale of AMERICAN CRIME. Earlier, THE MIDDLE fell 0.2 to 1.7 from its last new episode 3 weeks ago, THE GOLDBERGS was steady at 1.9 from the same night (although down 0.2 from the “Dirty Dancing”-themed out-of-timeslot episode 2 weeks ago), MODERN FAMILY was down 0.1 from 2 weeks ago to 2.5, and BLACK-ISH was steady at 1.9 from its last new episode 3 weeks ago.
FOX: ROSEWOOD held at 0.9, and HELL’S KITCHEN was down 0.1 from last week to 1.1.
NBC: A night of reruns was topped by 0.9s for a pair of SVU episodes.
CW: Reruns at 0.3/0.2.
There are season finales tonight for ABC’s HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, USA’s COLONY and Comedy Central’s IDIOTSITTER.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
