Friday Final Nationals: ‘Shark Tank’ and ’20/20′ on ABC Each Match Season-Highs in Adults 18-49

14 Comments

CBS and ABC once again shared Friday leadership — CBS with total viewers (8.63 million), ABC with all key demos.

ABC was bolstered by “Shark Tank” and “20/20” — each series tying their respective season-highs among adults 18-49. “20/20,” which featured Silence Broken: A Mother’s Reckoning, a Diane Sawyer special, with Sue Klebold the mother of one of the Columbine shooters speaking on television for the first time ever about the tragedy, also earned its best numbers in more than 3 months (since Oct. 30, 2015) in total viewers, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54.

  1. I don’t know if you have this but do you have the Movie Premeire of “Heart Felt” at 7 pm on ION Televison?

  2. Visitors requesting ratings are only allowed a MAXIMUM of TWO shows per query. You cannot make additional requests until the prior ones you had made are addressed.

    With the exception of broadcast network half-hours, time-block requests will not be answered. Requests also won’t be fulfilled for a network’s show rankings nor telecasts of marathons longer than two-hour periods.

    Please note Programming Insider will not answer any request for a show’s ratings prior to November 16, 2015. If you are requesting prior dates’ numbers from Nov. 16 or later, you MUST post your query as a comment at that respective date’s ratings page via http://programminginsider.com/category/ratings/

  4. Could I please have ‘Easiest Game Show Ever’ (Pop) at 9pm and 9:30pm. The Futon Critic says that it aired at 9:30pm, but TVTango.com says that it didn’t. So I’m curious to see if Nielsen has a listing for it from that time.

    Sorry for so many requests today, but I just have freetime, so I’m just trying to get them all out of the way. Thanks!
