The annual Thanksgiving night edition of “Sunday Night Football” gave NBC an easy Thursday night victory. Nonetheless, the NFL prime time ratings woes continued as the Pittsburgh Steelers-Indianapolis Colts (sans Colts quarterback Andrew Luck) matchup from 8:30-11:00 p.m. was down 26 percent in total viewers (18.543 million vs. 25.167 million) and down 24 percent in […]
Green Bay-Washington on “Sunday Night Football” helped NBC win Sunday night overall. ABC’s star-studded “American Music Awards” dipped to a record-low in ratings and viewership with a 4.7 U.S. household rating, 8.182 million total viewers and 3.105 million adults 18-49: down 26 percent in viewership and down 30 percent in adults 18-49 from the year-ago […]
CBS and ABC shared Saturday leadership. CBS, with an “NCIS” rerun and two hours of newsmagazine “48 Hours”, led in total viewers (4.29 million) while ABC, with Oklahoma-West Virginia on “Saturday Night Football”, led in all key demos. The Hallmark film “My Christmas Dream”, starring Danica McKellar (“The Wonder Years”) and Diedre Hall (“Days of […]
The Seattle Seahawks’ 31-24 win over the perennial powerhouse New England Patriots on “Sunday Night Football” not only gave NBC the overall Sunday night victory but also provided this NFL prime time showcase window its first increase this season from the corresponding year-ago game.

The day’s most-watched cable telecast was the premiere […]
“Chesapeake Shores,” Hallmark Channel’s newest original primetime series, debuted on Sunday, August 14 with 2.5 million viewers from 9-11 p.m. ET. Comparably, this lifted Hallmark Channel to No. 1 among all basic cable in the block (opposite the 2016 Rio Olympics on NBC) in households (2.3 rating, women 25-54 and total viewers).

NBC was Saturday prime time’s No. 1 network in all key measures like total viewers (3.14 million) and adults 18-49 (0.5 rating/2 share). Stuntman Luke Aikins successfully attempted a 25,000-ft. skydive from an airplane without a parachute on the special “Heaven Sent” but its ratings did not take high flight for Fox — it was […]
Saturday night television was again not highly sampled with NBC edging Fox by 1,000 viewers to be prime time’s most-watched network with a mere 2.976 million viewers.
