The Sked: Sunday Network Scorecard 6.11.2017

 

The TONY AWARDS missed HAMILTON in a big way.

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.

Fast Demo 2017 Jun 11.SUN

 

CBS:  After a steady 0.7 for 60 MINUTES, the TONY AWARDS dropped 0.6 from the preliminary rating for last year’s HAMILTON-driven ceremony to 0.9.  However, that puts it on par with the 2015 awards, so 2016 seems to have been an anomaly

NBC:  As was the case last year, Game 6 of the STANLEY CUP FINALS was the final game of the season.  At 2.1, it was half a point higher than the early number for the 2016 game.

ABC:  The summer game show line-up made its debut, with CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD at 1.5 (steady with the 2016 premiere), the new FUNDERDOME at 1.4, and THE $100,000 PYRAMID at 1.2 (down half a point from the 2016 premiere, which aired at 9PM).

FOX:  After 0.3-0.5 reruns, the network used a 0.7 new episode of BOB’S BURGERS to launch the season’s AMERICAN GRIT, but it didn’t pay off as the show premiered at a low 0.4, half of its 2016 number, although that was on a Thursday in April.

The NBA FINALS continue tonight, which won’t help some season premieres.  NBC has AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR and SPARTAN: ULTIMATE TEAM CHALLENGE, and FOX returns SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.  

 

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