Fast Demo 2016 Jul WED.13

ABC:  THE ESPYS fell 0.6 from last year’s edition (also on ABC) to 1.6.  That made it just the #3 show of the night.

NBC:  There was stronger competition for the ESPYS this year, as AMERICA’S GOT TALENT aired a new episode at 2.3 rather than a 1.2 clip show.  The episode was also up 0.5 from last week’s own clip show.  At 10PM, THE NIGHT SHIFT is currently up 0.2 to 1.3.

CBS:  BIG BROTHER fell 0.2 to 1.7.  After a 0.8 CRIMINAL MINDS rerun, AMERICAN GOTHIC lost 0.1 to 0.5.

FOX:  MASTERCHEF dropped 0.2 to 1.1, but WAYWARD PINES gained 0.1 to 0.8.

CW:  The season premiere of PENN & TELLER: FOOL US was at 0.4, the same as both the original and rerun episodes of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY.

ABC (as well as ESPN and Freeform) air a special town hall broadcast at 8PM tonight entitled THE PRESIDENT AND THE PEOPLE: RACE IN AMERICA.

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