Tuesday Final Nationals: Election Results from Indiana Boosts Cable News Networks to 2-Month High in Primary Coverage

Mixed Results for Final Season Premiere of 'Person of Interest' on CBS

CBS had original programming throughout this Tuesday night and won handedly among total viewers (11.59 million), as well leading among adults 25-54 (2.4 rating/7 share) and tying NBC in adults 18-49 (1.6/6). Their lineup featured the fifth and final season premiere of “Person of Interest” which earned the most total viewers for a originally scheduled CBS scripted drama in the Tuesday 10 p.m. hour since Nov. 17, 2015. On the downside, “Person of Interest” was off 30 percent (in total viewers) and 33 percent (in adults 18-49) from its fourth season premiere in the fall of 2014 and down 22 percent (in total viewers) and 20 percent (in adults 18-49) from its fourth season average.

TNT was on top among adults 18-34 with an approximate 1.4 rating due to NBA Eastern Conference Semifinal Game 1: Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors.

The results of the Indiana Primary was a boon for the cable news networks as it was the most-watched primary night since March 15 (Florida and Ohio primaries). From 8-11 p.m., Fox News Channel averaged 4.27 million viewers and 1.06 million adults 25-54 defeating CNN (2.62 million viewers; 896,000 adults 25-54) and MSNBC (1.55 million viewers; 413,000 adults 25-54). Ratings peaked on each news network (on FNC, during “The Kelly File”) in the 9 p.m. hour when presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made his victory speech.
