NOTE: Network news special reports last night for the Impeachment vote in the House of Representatives interrupted some programming. Precise program start and end times with actual program ratings will be available later this afternoon. The numbers below are time period numbers with approximate schedules as a rough guide.
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: LIVE IN FRONT OF A STUDIO AUDIENCE fell 0.6 from May’s edition to 1.1. Reruns followed at 0.4-0.7.
CBS: The fall finale of SURVIVOR was at 1.2, down 0.3 from both last December and the May season finale, and steady with last week. The REUNION special that followed was at 1.0, although that number tends to change if the finale itself ran long.
FOX: The fall finale of THE MASKED SINGER plunged a huge 1.4 from last May’s finale, but at 2.2 it was still the night’s easy winner, and up 0.3 from last week. The lead-in hour was at 1.7.
CW: After a rerun holiday special at 0.2, a holiday episode of MASTERS OF ILLUSION was at 0.1.
NBC: Reruns at 0.6-0.8.
Tonight, NBC airs the MISS AMERICA pageant, followed by a GWEN STEFANI’S YOU MAKE IT FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS special. On cable, FX has a TV-MA version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
