SHOWBUZZDAILY THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3.28.2019

 

Not much of a welcome for ABBY’S.

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:  The entire line-up was up 0.1:  GREY’S ANATOMY to 1.5, STATION 19  to 1.0, and FOR THE PEOPLE to 0.6.

NBC:  SUPERSTORE dropped 0.1 to 0.8, AP BIO (0.5) and WILL & GRACE (0.7) were steady, and ABBY’S premiered at a quiet 0.5.  The night ended with a rerun of SVU at 0.5.

CW:  After a SUPERNATURAL rerun at 0.2, the season finale of LEGACIES was steady at 0.3.

CBS:  The night’s preliminary NCAA TOURNAMENT ratings were in the range of 1.0-1.8, significantly below the early 2.2-2.6 for last year’s second Thursday games.

FOX:  Reruns at 0.3/0.3.

A Duke game should boost tonight’s NCAA TOURNAMENT numbers, and NBC airs back-to-back episodes of THE BLACKLIST. 

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

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
