SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5.8.2019

 

Some mild bumps for season finales.

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:  On a night of sitcom season finales, THE GOLDBERGS was up 0.1 from last week to 1.1, which was down 0.1 from the 2018 finale; SCHOOLED was up 0.1 from last week to 0.9; MODERN FAMILY was steady with last week’s 1.0, down 0.3 from 2018; and SINGLE PARENTS held last week’s 0.7.  WHISKEY CAVALIER (not a finale) lost 0.1 to 0.4.

FOX:  EMPIRE’s season finale was up 0.1 from last week to 1.2 (down half a point from 2018), and the STAR season finale was up 0.1 from last week to 1.0 (down 0.3 from last year).

NBC:  Returning from a week off, CHICAGO MED was steady at 1.0, CHICAGO FIRE dropped 0.1 to 1.0, and CHICAGO PD was down 0.1 to 0.9. 

CBS:  SURVIVOR stayed at 1.4, THE AMAZING RACE lost 0.1 to 0.8, and SEAL TEAM remained at 0.6.

CW:  Both RIVERDALE and JANE THE VIRGIN were up 0.1 to 0.3/0.3, and we’ll see if those hold up in finals.

Tonight, CBS airs the season finale of MOM, and FOX premieres the new reality show PARADISE HOTEL.

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