For Monday, September 28, 2015 (Posted on September 29, 2015)
ESPN #1 Monday but CBS’ ‘The Big Bang Theory’ was the top program.
ESPN
The Disney Sports Network finished #1 on Monday as pro football showcased their sport at the not so-‘Frozen Tundra’ of Lambeau Field. At 8P, the Green Bay Packers dismantled the Kansas City Chiefs, 38-28, and in the process finished as the #1 network on the evening averaging 13.514 million viewers and an 8.9 rating, well ahead of the next closest network, NBC. ESPN’s telecast drew a 13.1 rating in Milwaukee and a 10.6 in Kansas City. The game was simulcast on local affiliates in both markets, earning a 34.5 on Milwaukee’s ABC affiliate. WISN, and a 19.4 on Kansas City’s ABC affiliate KMBC. Las Vegas (15.1) was the top neutral market, with Denver (14.4) and San Diego (13.3) rounding out the top five. Final results will be posted when available.
NBC
The Peacock Network had an evening of singing and investigating. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ finished with an average 12.090 million viewers and an 8.0/12. Then at 10P, in ‘The Battle @ Ten’ ‘Blindspot’ finished with an average 9.110 million viewers and a 5.9/10.
ABC
The Alphabet Network had an evening of dancing and investigating. At 8P, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ finished with an average 11.040 million viewers and a 7.9/12, down 7% from the year previous. At 10P, in ‘The Battle @ Ten’, ‘Castle’ finished with an average 6.700 million viewers and a 4.7/8, down 34% from the comparable date one year ago. With new show runners and a hugely unpopular plot line where Beckett leaves Castle in the end of this episode could backfire on ABC as this is not the way fans want to see this relationship continue. They are treading on dangerous ground as ‘Castle’ fell to the basement on Monday in this time slot. Not good for the ABC affiliates. Note: The ABC affiliates in Kansas City and Milwaukee aired ‘Monday Night Football’ which could have inflated ABC’s overnight performance.
CBS
The Tiffany Network had an evening of comedy and investigating. At 8P, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ finished #1 in its time slot and #1 among all programming on television Monday with an average 15.230 million viewers and a 10.3/16. At 830P, the new comedy, ‘Life In Pieces’ finished with an average 8.710 million viewers and a 5.8/9. Then at 9P, ‘Scorpion’ in a story line that sent the team to Cuba but looked like the back lot of Paramount, finished with an average 9.490 million viewers and a 6.6/10, down 24% from the same comparable date last year. At 10P, in ‘The Battle @ Ten’, ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ finished with an average 7.660 million viewers and a 5.2/9, down 13% from the same comparable date last year.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast brought comic book fun with a new minority investigating. At 8P, ‘Gotham’ finished with an average 4.650 million viewers and a 3.4/5. Then at 9P, ‘Minority Report’ finished with an average 2.560 million viewers and a 1.9/3.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t try. It continued to duck the news season programming battle. At 8P, ‘Penn & Teller: Fool Us’ finished with an average 1.340 million viewers and a 1.0/2. At 9P, ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ finished with an average 1.252 million viewers and a 0.9/1. And at 930P, ‘Significant Mother’ finished with an average 670,000 viewers and a 0.5/1.
