For Monday, September 21, 2015 (Posted on September 22, 2015)
ESPN #1 on Monday but CBS’ ‘The Big Bang Theory’ top program.
Walt’s Sporting Network had pro football and that was all it needed to finished #1 on Monday. At 8P, the New York Jets upset the Indianapolis Colts, 20-7, in Indianapolis, IN, as it finished with an average 12.479 million viewers and a 9.3 overnight household rating. It reached a peak at 945P with a 10.7 HH ratings. Top markets: ESPN + WPIX simulcast a 13.5 rating in NYC. ESPN+WRTV = 32.2 in Indy. Las Vegas finished with a 15.5 HH rating.
NBC
The Peacock Network began the first night of the new television season with its biggest gun and its hottest new show to edge into the #1 broadcast network on Monday. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ returned with an average 12.37 million viewers and an 8.0/12. It reached its peak of 13.03 at 9P. Then at 10P, the premiere of ‘Blindspot’, with a fantastic opening episode, finished with an average 10.61 million viewers and a 7.1/2, winning the Battle @ 10P on this initial Monday evening. While this is traditionally a huge DVR evening, for those who didn’t record it and missed the opening program, this is an ON DEMAND top program to watch. The opening scenes before the commercial break is a history lesson for a Master’s Class on ‘How To Hold Your Audience In Your First Episode’. Fantastic!
CBS
The Tiffany Network began the season with its #1 comedy and a host of premieres. At 8P, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ had the wedding and finished with an average 18.20 million viewers and an 11.6 rating/18 share in households. At 830P, the premiere of ‘Life in Pieces’ which finished with an average 11.28 million viewers and a 7.2/11. At 9P, ‘Scorpion’ kicked-off season two with an average 11.09 million viewers and a 7.2/11 in households. At 10P, the season premiere of ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ with one of the most confusing episodes in its history finished with an average 7.89 million viewers and a 5.3/9, down from last year’s 6.0/10. The 10P time period is one of the competitive on this year’s schedule. And on this date, ‘NCIS: LA’ fell short as its storyline was not concise nor well scripted as it left the audience wondering what was happening to G. It did not get off to a very good start for a new season. Disappointing.
ABC
The Alphabet Network brought out its top gun and its veteran series in the 10P War. At 8P, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ which finished with an average 11.46 million viewers and a 7.9/12, 13% below last year’s season premiere. Then at 10P, the season premiere of ‘Castle’ finished with an average 6.84 million viewers and a 4.7/8, 34% below last year’s premiere with an episode that was exciting with a cliff hanging end going into next week while Beckett was largely absent due to the fact she was completing Sean Hanish’s film, ‘Sister Cities’. But it will rebound as the Battle @ 10P promises to be a great one this season. But, this creative program must understand that the chemistry between the two onscreen together is what drives this modern ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’. To wander with mistrust, will eliminate the loyalists and end in cancellation.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast brought one of its surprise hits of last year with a possible new hit of its own. At 8P, ‘Gotham’, with a tremendous opening episode finished with an average 4.57 million viewers and a 3.2/5, well below last year’s premiere. Then at 9P, the series premiere of ‘Minority Report’ finished with an average 3.10 million viewers and a 2.3/4, disappointing. But consider this: with little promotion outside of its Murdoch networks, there was little buzz for the show before it aired. This is a very interesting program with a great new castThis night could end up a real problem for Murdoch’s Minions.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t skipped premiere week in a move that could prove to be a brilliant move. At 8P, ‘Penn & Teller: Fool Us’ finished with an average 1.15 million viewers and a 1.1/2. At 9P, a rerun of ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’ finished with an 950,000 average viewers and a 0.7/1. Then at 9P, ‘Significant Mother’ failed miserably with an average 470,000 viewers and a 0.4/1.
Late Night
On the first night of the new television season, at 1135P, NBC’ ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ finished with an average 3.2 household rating/8 share, with guest, Presidential candidate Carley Florin. CBS’ ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ with guests Presidential candidate Ted Cruz finished with an average 2.5/7. During this program, Colbert had to admonish his audience not to boo his guest. Did he turn off his core audience by doing so? We will see as Trump is his guest on Tuesday. ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ with guests Bill O’Reilly and Miss Piggy, finished with a 1.9/5. At 1235A, NBC’ ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ finished with a 1.4/5 in metered-market households; ABC’s ‘Nightline’ finished with a 1.2/4. CBS’s ‘Late Late Show with James Corden’ finished with a 1.0/4. At 135A, ‘Last Call with Carson Daly’ finished with a 0.8/4.

NBC had the top new dramatic program on Monday as ‘Blindspot’ wowed the audience with a sensational episode setting up the series like few before it. With 10.61 million viewers.
CBS had the top new comedy program on Monday as ‘Life In Pieces’ brought four different stories within a single 30 minute episode, bringing laughs and hopes of many more to come. It was the #1 new program draw on Monday with an average 11.28 million viewers.
FOX had a very interesting drama, ‘Minority Report’ which brought us fresh new faces in the leads and an exciting first episode that unfortunately did not draw. It averaged 3.10 million viewers. Blame it entirely on Murdoch’s Minions.
ABC and The CW had no new programming on Monday.

Mobile News Mobile Phone Video Viewers Spending Most of Their Time With Short-Form Content
Online video viewers using mobile phones spent two-thirds of their viewing time in Q2 with content less than 10 minutes in length, according to Ooyala’s latest quarterly study. Desktops were also primarily used for short-form content (60% of time), though the same wasn’t true for tablets or connected TVs, for which a majority of viewing time was spent with content in excess of 10 minutes in length. For the quarter, about half of time spent watching video on connected TVs was for content 30 minutes or longer. That was the largest share of any device, with content of that length accounting for only 23% of mobile phone viewing time.
Separately, the report notes that mobile devices accounted for 44% of video plays in Q2.
