TV is beginning its holiday hibernation.
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 line-up was preempted in Jacksonville for the THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL simulcast, so the current numbers may change this afternoon. For the moment, a rerun BIG BANG THEORY (2.3) meant the rest of the night was on the low end, including 2.3 for MOM (down 0.3) and 1.9 for 2 1/2 MEN (down 0.4). THE MCCARTHYS and ELEMENTARY are steady right now at 1.6 and 1.4.
NBC: THE BIGGEST LOSER fell 0.2 to tie its low 0.9, and the PEOPLE MAGAZINE AWARDS stirred no interest at 0.8.
ABC: THE TASTE stayed at 0.8, followed by 0.6 for a HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER rerun.
CW: This year’s IHEARTRADIO JINGLE BELL music special gained 0.1 from last year’s to 0.6, followed by 0.4 for a WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY rerun.
FOX: BONES reruns at 0.8/0.8, but the Nashville affiliate aired the football game, so that might change.
THE AMAZING RACE is the only regular series tonight with a fresh episode, and CBS follows it with its A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS special. NBC has CAUGHT ON CAMERA.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
