For Sunday, October 4, 2015 (Posted on October 5, 2015)
NBC #1 Sunday as ‘Sunday Night Football’ top program.
NBC
The Peacock Network had football and that propelled it to #1 on Sunday. At 7P, ‘Football Night in America’ finished with a 8.78 million viewers and a 1.8/3. At 730P, ‘Football Night in America’ finished with an average 8.78 million viewers and a 4.6/8. At 8P, ‘Football Night in America’ finished with an average 17.55 million viewers and a 9.3/15. At 830P, ‘Sunday Night Football’, with the Dallas Cowboys loss, 26-20, at the New Orleans Saints in overtime, finished with 21.21 million viewers and an average 14.8 rating/24 share. New Orleans was the highest-rated market last night with a 46.1 rating/61 share, and Dallas ranked second (37.3/54).
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished second on Sunday with its regularly scheduled programming for the first time this fall. At 7P, ’60 Minutes’ finished with an average 11.6 million viewers and a 8.7/14. At 7P, ‘Madam Secretary’, starring Téa Leoni with an episode titled ‘The Show Must Go On’ finished as the top program of the evening on the network, the television’s top drama on Sunday, with an average 11.93 million viewers and a 8.4/13. Then at 8P, the season premiere of ‘The Good Wife’ finished with an average 9.37 million viewers and a 6.6/10. Then at 10P, the season premiere of ‘CSI: Cyber’, with Ted Danson joining the cast, finished with an average 7.02 million viewers and a 4.7/8. While this year’s schedule was not affected with a pro football overrun, the comparable schedule to last year really can’t be compared. However, a couple of observations can be made as it appears that ‘Madam Secretary’ is the new power drama on Sunday evenings. And, ‘The Good Wife’ with a free Julianna Margulies as the star, appears to be once again hitting on all cylinders, despite the loss of the provocative Archie Panjabi. ‘CSI: Cyber’ in the meantime, appears to be in a dog fight with ABC’s ‘Quantico’. After football season, this could be a bellwether for the future of the ‘Battle @ 10P on Sundays’. Network affiliates are anxiously awaiting.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast had its entire programming block back for the first time this season and finished in a surprising third place on Sunday. At 7P, ‘NFL Football’, with the Green Bay Packers defeating the San Francisco 49ers, leaked over into prime time with 19.05 million viewers and a 15.5/27. Then at 730P, ‘The OT’ finished with an average 11.08 million viewers and a 8.6/14. At 8P, the season premiere of ‘The Simpsons’ finished with an average 6.0 million viewers and a 4.0/3. At 830P, the season premiere of ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ finished with an average 4.1 million viewers and a 2.8/4. At 9P, ‘Family Guy’ finished with an average 3.63 million viewers and a 2.5/4. At 930P, ‘Last Man On Earth’ finished with an average 3.30 million viewers and a 2.3/4. Last season on the comparable date, there was no FOX NFL football overrun. While the network nearly doubled last year’s performance, let’s see how it does when there is a comparable schedule. Everything gets bloated with pro football’s popularity. Murdoch’s Minions cannot take a victory lap just quite yet.
ABC
The Alphabet Network fell on its face on Sunday and Mickey is not laughing as it finished 724,000 viewers below last year on the comparable date. At 7P, ‘The Muppets’ finished with an average 2.6 million viewers, down nearly 600,000 from a rerun of ‘Once Upon A Time’ last year in the comparable time slot. At 8P, ‘Once Upon A Time’ finished with an average 5.3 million viewers and a 3.3/5, down substantially as it drew 8.600 million last year in this time slot. At 9P, ‘Blood & Oil’ finished with an average 5.19 million viewers, down nearly 1 million viewers from ‘Resurrection’ which drew 6.153 million in the same time slot and was cancelled. At 10P, ‘Quantico’ finished with an average 6.94 million viewers and a 4.7/8. It finished over 2 million viewers ahead ‘Revenge’ which was in this time slot a year ago and drew 4.893 million viewers. So the moral of this store is: America misses their funniest home videos and ‘Quantico’ is a winner. The dudes programming Walt’s World better get on the stick and figure out what to do in the first three hours of Sunday prime time.
Univision
The #1 Hispanic Network in America didn’t really compete on this Sunday. At 7P, ‘Aqui y Ahora’ finished with a 0.9/2 HH Rating/Share. At 8P, ‘La Banda’ continued to shine as the Ricky Martin/Simon Cowell program finished with a 1.2/2 HH Rating/Share. But at 9P, ‘La Banda’ finished with a network high for the evening with a 1.4/2 HH Rating/Share. At 10P, ‘Sal y Pimienta’ finished with a 1.2/2 HH Ratings/Share.
For The Record
NBC finished #1 on Sunday with an average 17.64 million viewers and a 11.2 rating and 18 share of the available audience. CBS finished second on Sunday with 9.98 million viewers and a 7.1/11. FOX finished #3 with an average 7.85 million viewers and a 5.9/9. ABC finished #3 with an average 5.01 million viewers and a 3.2/5. Univision finished with an average 1.700 million viewers and a 1.2/2. Telemundo finished with a 0.4/1.

4 In 10 Americans Don’t Trust Mass Media
Trust in the mass media remains at a record low, according to Gallup, with just 40% of American adults surveyed reporting a great deal or fair amount of trust in the mass media – such as newspaper, TV and radio – when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly. Trust has fallen from a high of 55% in 1999, with the erosion most significant among Americans aged 18-49, of whom just 36% now trust the mass media.
