A pair of annual events returned.
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: THE SOUND OF MUSIC, one of the few theatrical movies that still airs on broadcast TV, dipped 0.1 from last year’s run to 0.6.
