Thursday Final Nationals: ‘Battle of the Network Stars’ on ABC Starts OK but Behind ‘Big Brother 19’ CBS Thursday Premiere

The Thursday night premiere of “Big Brother 19” gave CBS its second overall nightly victory. On this night, CBS led in total viewers (4.65 million), adults 18-49 (1.0 rating/5 share) and adults 25-54 (1.3/5). CBS and Fox were in a virtual tie among adults 18-34 (0.6/4).

Within the 9 p.m. hour, the series premiere of ABC’s rebooted “Battle of the Network Stars” ranked a distant runner-up to CBS’s “Big Brother 19” in all key demos; placed third in total viewers, even behind NBC game show “The Wall.”

But as a positive for ABC, “The Gong Show” at 10 p.m. — the hour’s top demo winner — fully retained its adults 18-49 delivery (0.9 rating) and slightly improved its adults 18-34 performance from its week-ago premiere.
