TUESDAY FAST AFFILIATE RATINGS

Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers: 
NBC: 8.02 million, CBS: 3.78, ABC: 2.40, Fox: 2.39, CW: 389,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 1.5 rating/12 share, ABC: 0.4/ 3, CBS: 0.3/ 3, Fox: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 0

As expected, the 2022 Winter Beijing Olympics continues to lag, with viewing levels paling in comparison to the average 19.8 million viewers who tuned in for primetime coverage of the 2018 Olympics in South Korea (across NBC, NBC Sports Network, and NBC Sports Digital’s streaming platforms) in 2018. And that was already a record low. See the network averages above.

On ABC, the “Jeopardy!” National College Championship, hosted by Mayim Bialik, began with 4.08 million viewers (#3) and a 0.6 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 (#2) in the Tuesday 8 p.m. ET hour. That faced annual CBS special “Super Bowl Greatest Commercials Countdown”, which was on the fast affiliate rating map with 4.40 million viewers (#2) and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo (#3t).

“Jeopardy!” led into sitcoms “Abbott Elementary” (Viewers: #3, 2.48 million; A18-49: #2, 0.5/ 4) and the final season of “black-ish” (Viewers: #3, 1.77 million; A18-49: #2, 0.4/ 3) from 9-10 p.m. If you liked NBC’s “The Office”, “Abbott Elementary” is a must see. And the comedies led into freshman drama “Queens”, which at just 987,000 viewers (#3) and a 0.2/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#3) in the Tuesday 10 p.m. ET hour could very well be an historical low for ABC in the time period.

Fox, meanwhile, featured drama “The Resident” (Viewers: #4, 3.32 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.4/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and recent flop entry “Real Dirty Dancing” (Viewers: #4, 1.46 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 2 at 9 p.m.). And The CW and CBS (from 9-11 p.m.) were in repeats.
