SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 1.6.2021

 

Special news reports displaced most of the regular line-ups.  (Note, though, that on the West Coast, reruns of scripted shows aired on some networks in prime time, which may lead to adjustments.)

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:  News coverage at 0.7.

CBS:  After reruns at 0.5/0.4, news coverage at 0.3.

NBC:  News coverage at 1.0.

FOX:  The only network to maintain its original entertainment line-up had subdued debuts for THE MASKED DANCER (0.7) and NAME THAT TUNE (0.7).

CW:  Reruns at 0.1/0.1.

Tonight, NBC will introduce its high-profile sitcom MR. MAYOR with back-to-back episodes.

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

Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Accurate program ratings will be available this afternoon with the broadcast finals.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top Wednesday cable programs and broadcast finals.
