Football.
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.
CBS: The AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME had a preliminary 13.4 (dropping off quite a bit in the final hour, when the result was a foregonc conclusion), which was down 0.9 from last year’s primetime Conference Championship game. It was followed by a preview of the new reality series HUNTED, which lost most of the football audience but was still strong at a preliminary 3.6.
FOX: The only network show to air an original episode against the game was SON OF ZORN, which was down 0.9 from its last airing to 0.9, but in a very atypical context. The rest of the night will be topped by 1.0 reruns of THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY, once the 7PM ZORN rerun is adjusted to reflect its football overrun.
ABC: The night was led by TO TELL THE TRUTH reruns at 0.8.
NBC: An 0.8 DATELINE rerun was followed by 0.6 for a run of the movie TED.
QUANTICO moves to its new night tonight, and both SUPERGIRL and JANE THE VIRGIN return from their winter hiatuses.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
