FRIDAY FAST AFFILIATE RATINGS

Friday, September 24, 2021
Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers:
NBC: 2.72 million, ABC: 2.22, CBS: 2.21, Fox: 2.09, CW: 618,000

Adults 18-49:
Fox: 0.5 rating/5 share, ABC and NBC: 0.3/ 3 each, CBS: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

Based on the programming roster, you would have never known it is the first Friday of the new TV season. That said, “WWE Friday Night Smackdown” on Fox, as usual, led the night in adults 18-49. See network averages above. But a 0.5 rating is nothing to boast about.

A Friday 8 p.m. edition of “Big Brother” on CBS was below average at 2.60 million viewers (#1) and a 0.5/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#1t). And it led into the season finale of “Secret Celebrity Renovation”, which scored 1.74 million viewers (#4) and a 0.2/ 2 in the demo at 9 p.m. “Blue Bloods” at 10 p.m. was a repeat.

In the battle of the 9-11 p.m. ET newsmagazines, NBC’s “Dateline” (Viewers: 3.05 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.4/ 3) had the advantage over ABC’s “20/20″ (Viewers” #2, 2.26 million; A18-49: #2, 0.3/ 3). But, let’s face it, both are what you would say long in the tooth.

The CW aired a double dose of “Dynasty”, which might have include other local programming. See network averages above, and remember that these are time period based fast affiliate ratings. Translation: They are approximate. And the remainder of the evening were repeat telecasts.
