SHOWBUZZDAILY FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8.7.2020

 

A historically low premiere.

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.

ABC:  Reruns at 0.4/0.3.

CBS:  GREATEST #ATHOME VIDEOS was steady at 0.4, followed by reruns at 0.3/0.3.

NBC:  Reruns at 0.3/0.4.

FOX:  WWE SMACKDOWN held at 0.5.

CW:  After reruns at 0.1/0.1, BEING REUBEN debuted at an abysmal 0.0/0.0, with 200-250K total viewers, not exactly keeping the lights on for the network.

Tonight’s network fare is mostly sports.  On Sunday, there are finales for HBO’s PERRY MASON and TNT’s THE ALIENIST: ANGEL OF DARKNESS, while Showtime premieres the UK thriller WE HUNT TOGETHER.

Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Accurate program ratings will be available Monday afternoon with the broadcast finals.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back Monday afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top Friday cable programs and broadcast finals.
