The Republicans may or may not win the next presidential election, but they’re certainly winning TV.
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.
ABC: The DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE was at 1.1, less than one-third of CNN’s 3.84 for last week’s Republican fracas.
FOX: UFC FIGHT NIGHT scored 0.9.
CBS: NOTE: CBS fast nationals inflated by local broadcast pre-emptions in New York (WCBS) and Dallas (WTVT) for Jets-Cowboys SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, which aired nationally on NFL Network. Currently its reruns and 48 HOURS are looking suspiciously robust at 0.9/1.1/1.3.
NBC: THE WIZ LIVE didn’t show much staying power, repeating at a weak 0.4.
Tonight, CBS has the season premiere of UNDERCOVER BOSS before a pair of reruns, FOX airs the MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT and ABC turns to a singalong version of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. On cable, there are season finales for Showtime’s HOMELAND and THE AFFAIR, as well as AMC’s INTO THE BADLANDS.
CABLE RATINGS: Come back early Tuesday for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
