Wednesday Final Nationals: ‘Big Brother 19’ Premiere on CBS Dominates Night’s Key Demos

The nineteenth season premiere of “Big Brother” propelled CBS to Wednesday night victory among total viewers (5.1 million), adults 18-49 (1.4 rating/6 share), adults 18-34 (1.0/6) and adults 25-54 (1.7/6).

Although its premiere viewership hit a 5-year low for the series (based on Live Plus Same Day data) — and was runner-up to NBC’s “Little Big Shots: Forever Young” for the most-watched telecast of the night, “Big Brother 19” was easily prime time’s No. 1 show in all key demographics. The margins were 70 percent higher than the second-largest telecast in adults 18-49 (Fox’s “MasterChef”), at least 44 percent higher than the second-largest telecast in adults 18-34 (Adult Swim’s 10:30 “Bob’s Burgers”), and 62 percent more than the closest shows in adults 25-54 (NBC’s “Little Big Shots: Forever Young” and Fox’s “MasterChef” each).

Prime time half-hour breakdowns for “Big Brother 19” in household rating/share and total viewers (adults 18-34, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 rating/share), were as follows:

8:00 3.8/8, 6.260 million (1.3/9, 1.8/9, 2.2/9)

8:30 3.4/7, 5.758 million (1.3/8, 1.7/8, 2.1/8)

9:00 3.4/7, 5.860 million (1.3/7, 1.8/7, 2.1/7)

9:30 3.3/6, 5.654 million (1.2/6, 1.7/7, 2.1/7)
