SHOWBUZZDAILY TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3.17.2020

 

The broadcast networks continued to show gains from homebound audiences

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 sitcoms aired for the first time since February 25, and all were up:  THE CONNERS by 0.3 to 1.2, BLESS THIS MESS by 0.1 to 0.7, MIXED-ISH by 0.2 to 0.7, and BLACK-ISH by 0.1 to 0.6.  FOR LIFE was steady with last week’s 0.6 (which followed a huge lead-in from the finale of THE BACHELOR).

CBS:  NCIS was down 0.2 to 0.8, but some listings have it as a rerun.  FBI was a rerun at 0.8, and a new FBI: MOST WANTED was up 0.2 to 0.8.

NBC:  ELLEN’S GAME OF GAMES jumped 0.4 to 1.3 (and was the highest-rated show of the night in the 18-34 demo), THIS IS US climbed 0.3 to 1.4, and NEW AMSTERDAM held at 0.7.

FOX:  THE RESIDENT (0.8) and EMPIRE (0.7) were each up 0.1.
