A fairly ho-hum Sunday night on the broadcast networks, with only NBC and a few hours on CBS on the air with original programming. Sunday Night Football (Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers) will be about an 8 rating with Adults 18-49 from 8:30 pm on, when the official nationals are released tomorrow.  With the pre-game […]

  THE GOOD PLACE had a good exit. DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day 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).

Tuesday prime time averages from last night show another 24% decline in live+same day DVR viewing for the four broadcast networks (from an 11.6 combined Adult 18-49 rating for the four networks on the same night last year to a preliminary 8.8 last night).  Not exactly, the sky is falling, but it’s pretty serious.

The game had started at 4PM East Coast time, and was supposed to end before primetime, when FOX would air THE X FACTOR.  But the rain delay […]

Note: The fast affiliate nationals below for three of the four broadcast networks are subject to change. The ABC and FOX live sports coverage will go up +10% or more in the official nationals when viewing in the Pacific Time Zone from 5-8pm PT is factored in. Conversely, the NBC numbers below from 8:30-10:00pm will […]

The World Series survives another year… but only with the help of football. FOX:  There’s a certain irony in the fact that WORLD SERIES GAME 4 avoided record lows (as detailed in Mitch Metcalf’s Daily Ratings Report today) mainly because the late afternoon down-to-the-wire NY Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL FOOTBALL game gave baseball a […]

ESPN’s Monday Night Football (Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers) had a significant impact on the ABC fast nationals, as ABC affiliates in both […]
