Friday 6/18/21 Preliminary Ratings

Total Viewers:
CBS: 2.84 million, ABC: 2.10, NBC: 2.09, Fox: 1.93, CW: 382,000

Adults 18-49:
Fox: 0.5 rating/4 share, NBC: 0.4/ 3, ABC and CBS: 0.2/ 2 each, CW: 0.1/ 1

Aside from CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox and The CW featured all original programming on this particularly bland Friday. Fox, as always, featured “WWE Friday Night Smackdown!” (see network averages above). And ABC offered two-hour special “Juneteenth” out of “Emergency Call” (Viewers: #2, 2.73 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.3/ 3 at 8 p.m.), which dropped to just 1.78 million viewers and a 0.2 rating/2 share in adults 18-49 from 9-11 p.m.

NBC featured an all night of sports-themed entries as follows:

8:00 p.m. – Golf: U.S. Open
Viewers: 2.22 million (#3), A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#2t)

9:00 p.m. – Olympic Trials: Swimming
Viewers: 1.89 million (#4), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#2)

10:00 p.m. – Olympic Trials: Track and Field
Viewers: 2.17 million (#2), A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#1)

The CW’s pairing of reboots “Charmed” (Viewers: #5, 473,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Dynasty” (Viewers: #5, 291,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 0 at 9 p.m.), meanwhile, only proves that the network will renew anything (and everything).
