Sunday Overnights: CBS Leads; ABC the Net to Beat in Adults 18-49

Sunday, July 28, 2019

Household Ratings/Share
CBS: 3.2/ 6, ABC: 3.0/ 6, NBC: 1.5/ 3, Fox: 0.7/ 1, CW: 0.2/ 0

Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening:
ABC: + 7, CBS: no change, Fox: -12, NBC: -35

Ratings Breakdown:
An encore telecast of “60 Minutes” (#1 for the night: 5.2 rating/11 share at 7 p.m.), once again, lifted CBS to victory in the household overnights. But the combination of game shows “Celebrity Family Feud” (3.8/ 7 at 8 p.m.) and “The $100,000 Pyramid” (#1: 3.3/ 6 at 9 p.m.) should be enough for ABC to lead overall in adults 18-49.

ABC’s “To Tell the Truth” (2.5/ 5) also dominated the 10 p.m. hour, besting competing “The Good Wife” on CBS (#2: 2.3/ 5) by nine percent.

Elsewhere, NBC populated the 8 p.m. hour with sports special Track and Field, USATF Outdoor Championships, which scored a modest 1.3/ 3 in the household overnights. CBS sophomore drama “Instinct” (#2: 2.5/ 5 at 9 p.m.) slipped by 19 percent out of lead-in “Big Brother” (#1: 3.1/ 6 at 8 p.m.) and is unlikely to get a third season. And Fox’s oddball “Just What Happened??!! With Fred Savage” scored a typically lackluster 0.6/ 1 at 9:30 p.m. (#4).
