CBS and NBC shared leadership for Tuesday in prime time.
Sports cable outlet FS1 was the night’s No. 3 network. Game 4 of the “National League Division Series”, featuring the Chicago Cubs’ 4-run 9th-inning comeback to defeat the San Francisco Giants 6-5 and making the game a series-clincher, set a new FS1 telecast viewer record with 6.368 million viewers (2.56 million adults 18-49, 3.83 U.S. household rating). The game edged out Game 5 of the 2015 American League Division Series between the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals, the network’s previous record holder, by +7 percent (vs. 5.944 million viewers).
Tuesday night’s NLDS clincher is up +62 percent (in total viewers) and up +104 percent (in adults 18-49) over 2014’s NLDS Game 4 between the San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals that aired in the late window on FS1 (vs. 3.921 million viewers, 1.252 million adults 18-49).
Fox Deportes also saw growth last night with Cubs vs. Giants, drawing an average of 140,000 viewers, up +155 percent over last year’s Blue Jays vs. Rangers ALDS Game 4 (vs. 55,000 viewers).
In the later innings, Tuesday night’s game peaked with 6.953 million viewers watching on FS1 and topped out at 189,000 viewers watching on Fox Deportes. When combined, Tuesday night’s game peaked with over 7 million viewers watching between FS1 and Fox Deportes.
Cubs-Giants Game 4’s average minute audience on Fox’s digital platform FOX Sports GO was 115,929, which is the highest average minute audience of any authenticated event in FS GO history.
ABC ranked fourth on the night, but its new 2-hour comedy block produced positive figures especially for the series premiere of “American Housewife” which built out of the eighth season premiere of “The Middle” among all key adults demos:
