For Thursday, June 25, 2015 (Posted on June 26, 2015)
CBS #1 on Thursday but NBC’s ‘Dateline’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network won for the second straight night as it presented original programming rather than just a schedule filled with reruns. At 8P, ‘Big Brother’ led off with an average 6.41 million viewers and a 4.0/7. At 9P, the season premiere of ‘Under The Dome’ with a two-hour episode drew a disappointing 6.19 million viewers and a 3.7/7, a full 36% off from last year’s opener.
NBC
The Peacock Network got its feathers up early then decided to die for the remainder of the evening. At 8P, ‘Dateline’ powered to the top with an average 6.85 million viewers and a 4.6/8 and was the #1 program in its time slot and on the evening in prime time. Then at 9P, ‘Aquarius’ fell with an average 3.22 million viewers and a 2.0/4. At 10P, the recently cancelled ‘Hannibal’ finished with a series low of 1.60 million viewers and a 1.1/2. Good night, Cloris.
ABC
The Alphabet Network tried. At 8P, ‘The Astronaut Wives Club’ finished with an average 4.50 million viewers and a 3.3/6. At 9P, ‘Mistresses’ finished with an average 3.31 million viewers and a 2.6/5. Then at 10P, the season premiere of ‘Rookie Blue’ finished with an average 3.71 million viewers and a 2.8/5, down 26% from a year ago.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast didn’t have much in the tank. At 8P, the series premiere of ‘Boom!’ was a bust. It delivered an average 2.51 million viewers and a 1.6/3. At 9P, ‘Wayward Pines’, believe it or not, picked up the evening for Murdoch’s Minions, as it finished with an average 3.36 million viewers and a 2.5/4.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t again. At 8P, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ finished with an average 900,000 viewers and an 0.8/1. At 9P, a rerun of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ crashed and burned with an average 560,000 viewers and a 0.4/1. This vampire had no teeth.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 on Thursday with an average 6.260 million viewers and a 3.8/7. NBC finished #2 with an average 3.888 million viewers and a 2.6/5.

Retailers’ Most Influential Promotional Vehicles, According to Online Shoppers
Emails offering free shipping (54%) or a discount (53%) are the forms of retailer advertising most likely to prompt online shoppers to shop with a retailer, per recently released results from a UPS and comScore study. A recent MarketingCharts study found that consumers are most likely to open emails from brands because the subject line promotes a discount or offer that interests them. Retailers have clearly caught onto this trend, per L2 research, which found last year that some 55% of emails sent during Q1 2014 by the 100 omnichannel retail brands tracked in its study advertised discounts, up from 49% the previous year.
