SHOWBUZZDAILY FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12.28.2018

 

Farewell to MIDNIGHT, TEXAS.

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).

Ratings analysis follows the chart.

NBC:  The season (and probably series) finale of MIDNIGHT, TEXAS was steady with last week’s 0.4.  A rerun of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT followed at 0.5, and DATELINE was up 0.1 to 0.6.

ABC:  After an hour of sitcom reruns at 0.4/0.3, a 2-hour 20/20 was down 0.1 to 0.4.

CBS:  A rerun of GARTH: LIVE AT NOTRE DAME at 0.5 was followed by a BLUE BLOODS rerun at 0.4.

FOX:  Reruns at 0.4-0.6.

CW:  Reruns at 0.2/0.1.

Primetime tonight will likely be dominated by ESPN’s evening COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS game.  On Sunday, FOX will boost the season premiere of THE ORVILLE with an off-night airing after the afternoon Week 17 national NFL game.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back Monday afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
