Today's Early Overnight Ratings

This table shows the early overnight ratings. These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)

NOTICE
As you can see we are trying out a new table format. This will allow us to enter in the Top 25 Markets (if we get them), as well as additional Demo Numbers for those who are interested in them. Let us know what you think of the new table and if you have any suggestions/comments. If this format proves popular we may look to use it for future ratings posts. These new tables should also work better on mobile devices so that you can scroll the table if it does not fit on your device.

Tables being updated live. Please refresh for updates.

Early Ratings Analysis

The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)

For more information on the Nielsen Ratings see this Wikipedia Entry.

NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

———-

Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. The overnights are your first look at what to potentially expect when the other results come in. And we always take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence. Keep in mind, as always, that results for any live sporting event are always approximate.

-Winners:
“Sunday Night Football” (NBC), “2014 American Music Awards” (ABC)

-Viable Older-Skewing Options:
“60 Minutes” (CBS), “Madam Secretary” (CBS), “The Good Wife” (CBS)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Mulaney” (Fox), “Bob’s Burgers” (Fox)

Ratings Breakdown:
CBS actually inched past the normally dominant home of “Sunday Night Football,” NBC, by two-tenths of a rating point (or two percent) thanks to the estimated 18.2 rating/30 share in the household overnights for an approximate 45-minute primetime football overrun. But NBC is a lock for leadership in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demographics), and ABC was on the map thanks to the “2014 American Music Awards.”

“The 2014 American Music Awards” scored a 7.5 rating/11 share from 8-11 p.m., peaking from 9-10 p.m. with a 7.7/11. Comparably, this was nine percent below the 8.2/12 in the overnights on the year-ago evening, and that translated into 13.14 million viewers and a 4.5 rating/11 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data. Given “The American Music Awards” faced football and the older-skewing CBS dramas, there is plenty of available audience in the same time period for different types of programming,

Earlier in the evening on ABC was veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at a second-place 4.1/ 7 from 7-8 p.m., which was 17 percent above the 3.5/ 6 on the year-ago evening.

On NBC, the Dallas Cowboys at the New York Giants on “Sunday Night Football” scored an estimated 14.0/22 from 8:30-11:30 p.m., which was five percent above the 13.3/21 in the overnights for New England at Indianapolis one week earlier (which translated into 20.82 million viewers and a 7.1/19 in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data).

Earlier in the evening on NBC was pre-game “Football Night in America” at a 1.8/ 3 at 7 p.m. (#3t), a 4.5/ 7 at 7:30 p.m. and a 7.9/12 (#2) in the 8 p.m. half-hour.

In time period premiere news, Fox comedy “Mulaney” dipped to a series-low 1.1/ 2 at 7:30 p.m. (#4), which was 39 percent below an encore telecast of lead-in “The Simpsons” (#3t, 1.8/ 3 at 7 p.m.). At this point, Fox is only burning off the remaining episodes of “Mulaney.” With weaker lead-in support, the regularly scheduled telecast of “The Simpsons” dipped to a season-low 2.3/ 3 at 8 p.m., followed by an also season-low 2.0/ 3 (#4) for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” at 8:30 p.m. Fox populated the 9 p.m. half-hour with a repeat of “Family Guy” (#4: 1.7/ 2), followed by temporarily relocated “Bob’s Burgers” at a mere 1.4/ 2 at 9:30 p.m.

CBS, meanwhile, was approximate due to the aforementioned primetime football overrun and appears as follows by half-hour:

CBS/Sunday
7:00 p.m. – Football: 18.4/30 (#1)
7:30 p.m. – Football: 17.9/29 (#1) / “60 Minutes”: 11.7/18 (#1)
8:00 p.m. – “60 Minutes”: 11.5/17 (#1)
8:30 p.m. – “60 Minutes”: 11.2/17 (#2) / “Madam Secretary”: 8.8/13 (#2)
9:00 p.m. – “Madam Secretary”: 8.3/12 (#2)
9:30 p.m. – “Madam Secretary”: 8.8/13 (#2) / “The Good Wife”: 7.4/11 (#2)
10:00 p.m. – “The Good Wife”: 7.4/11 (#3)
10:30 p.m. – “The Good Wife”: 7.8/13 (#2) / “”CSI”: 5.5/ 9 (#3)
11:00 p.m. – “CSI”: 5.5/10
11:30 p.m. – “CSI”: 5.3/11 (to 11:45 p.m. ET)

About the Daily Ratings

Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.

The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).

Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.

Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above.

Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent
Ratings FAQ.
