Ratings Breakdown:
Note: AMC aired the season-finale of “The Walking Dead” from 9-10:30 p.m. ET.
CBS closed the week on a winning overnight note care of the “51st Academy of Country Music Awards,” which averaged a 6.7 rating/11 share in households from 8-11 p.m. Comparably, however, this was noticeable 26 percent below the 9.0/15 in the overnights for the year-ago telecast (on Sunday 4/19/15). And that translated into 15.98 million viewers and a 3.6 rating/11 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day results.
Earlier in the evening on CBS was granddaddy “60 Minutes” at a dominant 7.0/12 from 7-8 p.m.
Despite facing the “ACM Awards,” bona fide NBC hit “Little Big Shots,” hosted by Steve Harvey, won the 8 p.m. hour with a 6.8/11. Comparably, that was six percent above the 6.4/11 one week earlier. And it led into slightly improved overnights for sitcoms “The Carmichael Show” (#2: 3.1/ 5) and “Crowded” (#2: 2.3/ 3) from 9-10 p.m., followed by a Sunday 10 p.m. edition of “Dateline” at a distant second-place 2.7/ 5 at 10 p.m.
NBC opened the night with a repeat of “Little Big Shots” at a 3.3/ 6 (#2) at 7 p.m.
Elsewhere, ABC could not compete with its Sunday combination of veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (#3: 2.9/ 5), “Once Upon a Time” (#3: 2.5/ 4), “The Family” (#3: 2.2/ 3) and “Quantico” (#3: 2.6/ 4). Sunday from 7-10 p.m. needs to be revamped on ABC next season. And Fox was well below average (and is also in need of revamping) with its diluted 7-10 p.m. line-up of “Bordertown” (#4: 0.7/ 1), “Cooper Barrett Survives the Universe” (#4: 0.7/ 1), “The Simpsons” (#4: 1.5/ 3), two episodes of “Bob’s Burgers” (8:30 p.m.: #4: 1.3/ 2; 9 p.m.: #4: 1.2/ 2) and just renewed “Last Man Standing” (#4: 1.4/ 2).

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 (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
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.
