SUNDAY, APRIL 17, 2022

Total Viewers:
CBS: 5.60 million, ABC: 4.90, Fox: 3.40, NBC: 1.12, CW: 232,000

Adults 18-49:
ABC and Fox: 0.6 rating/5 share each, CBS: 0.5/ 4, NBC: 0.1/ 1, CW: 0.1/ 0

On the sports side, NASCAR, The Food City Dirt Race, lifted Fox to victory in adults 18-49 (tied for the night with ABC). See network averages above. 

Fox’s victory in the demo stemmed from a three-hour edition of “American Idol”, with scored a 0.6 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 (with a respectable 5.01 million viewers from 8-11 p.m. ET). It led out of veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (Viewers: #2, 4.58 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.6/ 5 at 7 p.m.), which at this point will outlive us all.

Elsewhere, CBS had a typical Sunday as follows:

Sunday/CBS
7:00 p.m. – “60 Minutes”
Viewers: 6.64 million (#1 for the night); Adults 18-49: 0.5 rating/3 share (#3)

8:00 p.m. – “The Equalizer”
Viewers: 6.32 million (#1); Adults 18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#3)

9:00 p.m. – “NCIS: Los Angeles”
Viewers: 5.51 million (#1); Adults 18-49: 0.6/ 4 (#1t)

10:00 p.m. – “S.W.A.T.”
Viewers: 3.92 million (#2); Adults 18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#2)

NBC, meanwhile, plunged to what could be its lowest rated Sunday historically care of a two-hour encore telecast of “American Song Contest”, game show “The Weakest Link” (Viewers: #4, 1.61 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 2 at 9 p.m.) and medical drama “Transplant” (Viewers: #3, 1.07 million; A18-49: #3, 0.1/ 1 at 10 p.m.). And The CW featured “Riverdale” (Viewers:#5, 250,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 0 at 8 p.m.), which has virtually no audience since moving to Sunday, and two repeat episodes of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”
