Three networks — two broadcast and one cable — touted victories on this Sunday night. CBS was tops in total viewers (8.52 million), NBC led among adults 25-54 (1.7 rating/4.9 share), and TNT was TV’s No. 1 network among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34 (approximately a 1.5 rating for each demo).
TNT had its first day of “NBA Playoffs” coverage with an evening triple-header: Charlotte Hornets at Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzlies at San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers at Los Angeles Clippers. The three telecasts averaged 3.317 million viewers and a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49. This marks declines of 8 percent (in total viewers) and 7 percent (in adults 18-49) from the first NBA playoff Sunday on TNT one year prior (Apr. 21, 2015).
In the afternoon, the marquee NBA playoff game of the day aired on ABC: Game 1 of Detroit Pistons-Cleveland Cavaliers. The telecast drew a 4.1 overnight rating, down 11 percent from ABC’s Boston-Cleveland Game 1 on Apr. 21, 2015 (4.5 overnight rating, which translated to a 3.5 final household rating and 5.4 million total viewers).
NBC sitcom “Crowded” got a welcome boost with a special telecast in the post-“Little Big Shots” time slot drawing similar figures as usual time slot resident “The Carmichael Show”.
