-Ratings Analysis:
Not even the New York Giants versus the Green Bay Packers could out-rate Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton. The second Presidential debate was top-rated on CBS, with (including the 24-minute analysis in the 10:30 p.m. half-hour) an estimated 10.4 rating/15 share in the household overnights from 9-11 p.m. The Sunday Night Football match-up scored an estimated 10.2/15 in the overnights from 8:30-11:30 p.m.
As a reminder, results for any live event are always rough estimates.
ABC’s coverage of the debate was on the map with a 7.3/10 from 9-11 p.m., while Fox in the 9 p.m. hour (overnight results for the network were not available at 10 p.m.) averaged a 3.6/ 5.
As a basis of comparison, here is how ABC, CBS and Fox fared in the overnights compared to the first debate on Monday, Sept. 26:
CBS: Sunday, Oct. 9: 10.4/15 – Monday, Sept. 26: 7.2/10: +44 percent
ABC: Sunday, Oct. 9: 7.3/10 – Monday, Sept. 26: 8.0/12: – 9 percent
Fox: Sunday, Oct. 9: 3.6/ 5 – Monday, Sept. 26: 3.7/ 5: – 3 percent
CBS, of course, had the most compatible lead-in support out of an expanded edition of “60 Minutes,” which scored an 8.7/13 from 7:30-9 p.m. Earlier in the evening, the Eye net featured a football primetime overrun at an approximate 12.5/22 (#1) in the 7 p.m. half-hour.
ABC opening the night with veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at a 2.9/ 5 at 7 p.m. (#3) into a 2.6/ 4 (#3) for tired “Once Upon a Time” at 8 p.m. And Fox opened the evening with a repeat of “The Simpsons” (#2: 2.8/ 5 at 7 p.m.) into “Bob’s Burgers” (#3: 3.1/ 5), an original installment of “The Simpsons” (#4: 2.2/ 3) and a repeat of “Son of Zorn” (#4: 1.4/ 2) from 8:30-10 p.m.

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.
