NOTE TO READERS: Part of SHOWBUZZDAILY will be at the Sundance Film Festival starting later today. That means that our ratings posts will largely be charts without text for the rest of the week, and also that we may not be able to quickly respond to individual requests in the Comments. (On the other hand, Sundance reviews!)
On a night that may see adjustments due to weather-related news preemptions, there wasn’t a lot of movement in the initial numbers.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary 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.
FOX: GOTHAM lost 0.1 to 2.1, while SLEEPY HOLLOW gained the same to 1.4.
ABC: THE BACHELOR rose 0.1 to 2.2, followed by 0.9 for a CASTLE rerun.
NBC: CELEBRITY APPRENTICE and STATE OF AFFAIRS each lost 0.1, to 1.8 and 1.0 respectively.
CW: Both THE ORIGINALS and JANE THE VIRGIN were up 0.1, respectively to 0.7 and 0.6.
CBS: Only the SUPER BOWL GREATEST COMMERCIALS special was new, up 0.2 from last year’s special to 2.1. It was followed by reruns at 1.4/1.0.
Tonight’s network schedule is a patchwork, with only CW offering an all-new line-up. AGENT CARTER, PARKS & RECREATION and MASTERCHEF JR are among the new airings, with CBS continuing to burn off its CSI episodes with a run in the PERSON OF INTEREST slot.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
