The NCAA Tournament is already helping CBS.

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:  After 0.8 for an AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS rerun, AMERICAN IDOL was steady at 1.3.  SHARK TANK gained 0.1 to 0.9.

CBS:  60 MINUTES rose 0.3 to 1.1, probably because of its NCAA Brackets lead-in.  GOD FRIENDED ME rose 0.2 from last week to 0.8.  The 9-11PM shows returned from a week off, with NCIS: LA steady at 0.9, and MADAM SECRETARY down 0.1 to 0.5.

Primetime tonight includes the series premiere of ABC’s THE FIX, the midseason return of FOX’s 9-1-1, and the season finale of CW’s BLACK LIGHTNING.
