Sunday Final Nationals: Modest Viewership for ‘Sinatra 100’ Grammy Concert on CBS

The Pittsburgh Steelers dominated the Indianapolis Colts 45-10 on “Sunday Night Football” (Women 18-34: 3.5/13; Men 18-34: 7.1/26; Women 18-49: 4.6/14; Men 18-49: 8.8/26). Also with a dominating victory on this Sunday night: the network that carried the game, NBC.

CBS showcased a salute to the late great crooner Frank Sinatra with “Sinatra 100: An All-Star Grammy Concert” (Women 18-34: 0.6/2; Men 18-34: 0.5/2; Women 18-49: 1.0/3; Men 18-49: 0.7/2). The 2-hour special featured classic Sinatra tunes performed by some of today’s popular artists such as U2, Lady Gaga, and John Legend. While it skewed towards older audiences, the event program was only behind NBC’s football in total viewers within its 2-hour window.

According to Nielsen, President Obama’s address to the nation at the start of the 8 p.m. ET hour across several networks including NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox as well as the cable news channels drew an audience of 46 million viewers.
