THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 6/18/12

Another night on broadcast TV with nothing even managing a 2 rating.

FOX:  SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE won the night for FOX, even though it was down 10% from last week to a 1.8.

CBS:  BIG BROTHER shared the single biggest number of the night with a 1.9, but that was down a painful 0.8 from last year’s Wednesday premiere.  Reruns filling the rest of the evening had 1.0-1.1 scores.

NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT fell to a new low 1.9, and the night’s reruns didn’t top 1.1.

ABC:  At least FINAL WITNESS went up for the night, albeit by only 0.1 to 1.2 (enough to win its hour), with MODERN FAMILY reruns providing some 1.4/1.5 muscle in the lead-in hour.

CW:  AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL reruns at 0.3.

Tonight the networks air their usual summer Thursday line-ups, with ABC hoping someone notices the finale of DUETS has arrived.
