Sunday 7/11/21 Preliminary Ratings

Total Viewers:
ABC: 5.67 million; CBS: 3.15, NBC: 2.24, Fox: 556,000, CW: 318,000

Adults 18-49:
ABC: 1.6 rating/12 share, CBS: 0.5/ 3, NBC: 0.3/ 2, Fox: 0.2/ 1, CW: 0.1/ 1

Game 3 of The NBA Finals (Milwaukee vs. Phoenix) led ABC to an easy Sunday night victory. The game averaged an estimated 6.34 million viewers and a 1.9 rating/14 share in adults 18-49 in 8-11 p.m. ET block. As a reminder, results for any live sporting event are approximate.

Earlier in the evening on ABC, also estimated, was a 7 p.m. ET edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” into the NBA Countdown at an average 3.65 million viewers (#2) and a 0.9/ 8 in the demo.

On CBS, “60 Minutes” (Viewers: #1, 6.27 million; A18-49: #2, 0.5/ 4 at 7 p.m.) led into the Sunday 8 p.m. time period debut of “Big Brother” at 3.66 million (#2) and a 0.8/ 6 in the demo. Next was two hours of “Love Island” at a modest 1.33 million viewers (#4) and a 0.3/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#2t) from 9-11 p.m. The interest in social media and young audience skew (particularly for CBS) is what keeps it on the air.

Elsewhere, the only other original programming on the night was on The CW care of “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” (Viewers: #5, 422,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 t 8 p.m.) and two episodes of “Wellington Paranormal” (Viewers: #5, 215,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 from 9-10 p.m.).
