SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12.23.2015

 

A night for classics, old and new.

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 follows the chart; comparison charts will return with regular network programming after New Year’s.

Fasts Demo 2015 Dec WED.23

NBC:  On the night before the night before Christmas, families cozied up to the zillionth run of the original HOW THE GRINCH SAVED CHRISTMAS at 1.2, which won the night.  After a dip to 0.9 for HOW MURRAY SAVED CHRISTMAS, a rerun of the recent ADELE LIVE IN NY concert special did quite well at 1.1, but the night ended on a down note with 0.6 for a rerun of MICHAEL BUBLE’S CHRISTMAS IN HOLLYWOOD.

CBS:  The latest colorized I LOVE LUCY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL was solid at 1.1, followed by procedural reruns at 0.7/0.9.

ABC:  Sitcom reruns, topped by MODERN FAMILY at 1.0.

FOX:  Reruns led by EMPIRE at 0.5.

CW:  Reruns at twin 0.3s.

All the networks are regifting on Christmas Eve, and there’s not a new piece of programming to be found under the tree.

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

This feature will return after the holidays.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
