SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3.25.2015

 

It was a long way down for FOX’s Wednesday without EMPIRE.

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 and comparisons follow the chart.

Demo Profile 2015 WED.25 Mar

FOX:  AMERICAN IDOL, without EMPIRE to share the night, plunged 0.7 from its last Wednesday airing to 1.7, which was also down half a point from IDOL’s score on the parallel Wednesday last season.

ABC:  An unusually ugly night for the network, as THE MIDDLE crashed by 0.4 to 1.8, THE GOLDBERGS fell 0.5 to 2.0, and MODERN FAMILY plunged 0.6 to 2.8.  In that context, the 0.2 drop for BLACK-ISH to 2.1 looked like a triumph.  A NASHVILLE: ON THE RECORD concert special played like a rerun at 0.8.

NBC:  THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA dropped 0.4 to 1.0, and SVU was off 0.3 to 1.3, but CHICAGO PD provided some stability by holding at 1.5.

CBS:  SURVIVOR and CRIMINAL MINDS each slipped 0.1, to a respective 2.2 and 2.0.  CSI:  CYBER held at 1.4.

CW:  ARROW and SUPERNATURAL each gained 0.1, to 1.0 and 0.7.

CBS returns to NCAA BASKETBALL tonight, and all the other networks (except CW) are new, including the return of BONES to FOX.   

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