An aptly-titled music special provided the night’s strongest sign of life.
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: This season’s Grammy tribute special STAYIN ALIVE was dedicated to the Bee Gees, and at 1.2 it was considerably stronger than the December 2015 SINATRA 100 entry at 0.8. The night started with 60 MINUTES down 0.7 from last week’s MASTERS-boosted episode, and ended with ELEMENTARY at 0.6, down 0.2 from its last airing 3 weeks ago.
ABC: After a 0.6 INSIDE DISNEY NATURE special, ONCE UPON A TIME held at 0.7, MATCH GAME lost 0.1 to 0.6, and AMERICAN CRIME remained at 0.4.
NBC: CHICAGO JUSTICE fell 0.1 to 0.9, and SHADES OF BLUE stayed at 0.7. The night started with a pair of LITTLE BIG SHOTS reruns at 0.6/0.8.
FOX: An all-rerun night led by 0.6s for THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY.
A pair of bubble shows, CBS’s 2 BROKE GIRLS and FOX’s 24: LEGACY, air their season (and possibly series) finales tonight.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
