SHOWBUZZDAILY MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10.19.2020

Note: The FOX 8-9PM number below contains 15 minutes of NFL postgame in most of the country. The numbers for LA’S FINEST will decline in the official nationals this afternoon.

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 and comparisons follow the chart.

ABC:  DANCING WITH THE STARS gained 0.1 to 1.0, and EMERGENCY CALL was also up 0.1 to 0.5.

CBS:  BIG BROTHER dipped 0.1 to 0.9, ONE DAY AT A TIME was at 0.2/0.2 compared to last week’s 0.3/0.3, and MANHUNT: DEADLY GAMES held at 0.2.

NBC:  THE VOICE became the latest veteran to return with a sharp drop, down half a point from last fall’s premiere to 1.2.  (It was down 0.3 from last February’s midseason premiere.)  An episode of WEAKEST LINK followed at 0.8.

FOX:  As noted, the current 0.9 for LA’S FINEST will likely drop once the NFL overrun is removed.  FILTHY RICH is up 0.1 to 0.4

CW:  The new WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY dropped 0.1 to 0.1, with the rerun at 0.2.  PENN & TELLER: FOOL US was steady at 0.2.

Tonight, FOX begins its coverage of the WORLD SERIES.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.

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 this afternoon with the broadcast finals.
