The end of the World Series didn’t do much to help ABC.
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: Facing normal Sunday competition, both AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS (1.0) and ONCE UPON A TIME 1.1) gained 0.2 from last week. But SECRETS & LIES and QUANTICO remained mired at their series low 0.6s.
FOX: The regular line-up returned, with BOB’S BURGERS down 0.4 from 2 weeks ago (that earlier number was probably boosted by a late afternoon football lead-in), THE SIMPSONS down 0.1 to 1.4, SON OF ZORN down 0.1 to 0.9, and FAMILY GUY (1.2) and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (0.9) steady.
NBC: SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL’s preliminary 5.6 is down 0.4 from last week’s early number, even though this week there was no sports event airing against it.
CBS: The entire line-up was pushed by an overrun from the late afternoon national NFL game. For now, 60 MINUTES is at 2.1, NCIS: LA is at 1.3, and MADAM SECRETARY is at 0.9, with ELEMENTARY airing mostly out of primetime.
NBC preempts its fading TIMELESS tonight for a clip-show SNL ELECTION SPECIAL. On cable, Bravo’s VANDERPUMP RULES returns for a new season.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
