AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR continued to fight the good fight for NBC.
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: AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR returned with the same 1.8 as its 2015 premiere. THE NIGHT SHIFT’s premiere was down 0.4 from last year’s debut to 1.1, but that’s not exactly apples to apples since the network tried it out (unsuccessfully) as a regular season show in 2015, and it had a 4.0 lead-in that night from THE VOICE.
FOX: MASTERCHEF’s season premiere was down 0.1 from last year to 1.1. WAYWARD PINES was steady with last week’s season premiere at 0.9.
ABC: 500 QUESTIONS ended its run with 0.8, steady with Tuesday. A MODERN FAMILY rerun topped the 10PM hour’s sitcoms.
CW: Both an IHEARTRADIO SUMMER POOL PARTY special and a SUPERNATURAL rerun were at 0.2.
CBS: Reruns at 0.8-0.9.
Tonight will be dominated by ABC’s coverage of Game 1 of the NBA FINALS. On a much lower ratings level, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST begins its final run.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
