For Thursday, October 15, 2015 (Posted on October 16, 2015)
CBS #1 Thursday as ‘Thursday Night Football’ top program.
CBS
The Tiffany Network had pro football and that won the evening. At 8P, ‘Thursday Night Football Kick Off’ finished with an average 8.25 million viewers and a 4.5/8. At 830P, ‘Thursday Night Football’ with the New Orleans Saints defeating the Atlanta Falcons, 31-21, in New Orleans, delivered the Atlanta Falcons their first defeat of the season, and averaged 14.78 million viewers and an 8.4/14 .
TBS
Ted’s Baseball Station finished as the #1 cable network on Thursday because it had the big baseball game in the two biggest markets in America. In a winner-take-all game m Game 5 of the Mets/Dodgers National League Division Series scored an average 7.4 million viewers a 4.5 overnight HH rating on TBS Thursday night, the highest of the postseason thus far (21 telecasts). The previous high was a 5.7 for the Astros/Yankees A.L. Wild Card Game on ESPN. The Mets’ narrow win ranks as the highest rated baseball game on cable in the metered markets since 2011. This postseason has already included the top three games over that span, Thursday’s game, Astros/Yankees, and the Cubs/Pirates N.L. Wild Card Game (5.5). Game 5 had an 18.4 rating in New York, the highest for a Mets game in the market since the team’s NLCS run in 2006. It drew an 11.0 in Los Angeles. As for the game itself, all the money in Magic Johnson’s coffers couldn’t bring a division series win to the LaaLaa Dodgers as they simply did not have the pitching (yes, poor Mr. Greinke) nor hitting (where did all that money go?) or fielding (if you can’t cover third, you deserve to lose). It was the biggest baseball game on cable in four years.
ABC
The Alphabet Network warmed up its case to be #1 after football is over on CBS in a couple of weeks with its solid female centric programming block. At 8P, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ finished with an average 6.74 million viewers and a 6.3/10. Then at 9P, ‘Scandal’ finished with an average 8.06 million viewers and a 6.4/10. At 10P, ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ finished with an average 6.81 million viewers and a 5.4/9.
NBC
The Peacock Network brought out what it hopes will be a programming block that will grow with fans after football ends. And there was some glimmer of hope. At 8P, ‘Heroes Reborn’ finished with an average 4.01 million viewers and a 2.6/4. At 9P, the powerful ‘The Blacklist’ was as good as it gets on Thursday as Red and Liz battled all night long to prove to the FBI that Liz is good, while Liz does not believe that to be true. It finished with an average 6.93 million viewers and a 4.8/7. Great episode which was Must See TV ON DEMAND. Then at 10P, ‘The Player’ finally got writing, acting and plot correct and could prove to be a superb series if given the chance and an audience that follows. On Thursday, it drew an average 3.99 million viewers and a 2.8/5. Thursday’s episode was a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode and with it is a primer to the first four episodes with some exciting action. While ‘HR’ does not really fit into the mix, ‘The Player’ after ‘The Blacklist’ makes a lot of sense. Now, the decision is up to the viewers. ‘The Blacklist’ is a horse. Is ‘The Player’ an adequate cart.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast had two programs which may not be along next season, provide the entirety of its schedule. At 8P, the great ‘Bones’ finished with an average 5.79 million viewers and a 3.6/6, which finished #3 on broadcast networks in the time slot on Thursday. It still has staying power. But at 9P, ‘Sleepy Hollow’ simply cannot hold any audience as it finished with an average 2.97 million viewers and a 1.8/3. It would be a better fit on The CW as a companion with ‘The Vampire Diaries’.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t had two programs that probably shouldn’t have made it to this new season. At 8P, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ may have drunk all the blood it can fang into as it delivered an average 1.40 million viewers and a 1.1/2. Then at 9P, ‘The Originals’ are looking more like ‘The Copies’ as it finished with an average 1.12 million viewers and an 0.8/1.
Late Night
At 1135P, NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ with guest Tom Hanks, finished #1 with a 2.9 HH rating and a 7 HH share of the available audience. CBs’ ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert, delayed by NFL overrun with guest Oprah, finished with a 2.2/7. ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ with guest Justin Theroux finished with a 2.1/5. At 1235A, NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ finished with a 1.3/5. CBS’ ‘Late Late Show with James Corden’ which was delayed by the late running NFL game, finished with a 1.2/5. ABC’s ‘Nightline’ finished with an average 1.2/4.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 on Thursday with an average 10.66 million viewers and a 7.8/13. TBS finished #2 overall and #1 cable network Thursday with an average 7.4 million viewers and a 4.5 HH rating. ABC finished with an average 7.64 million viewers and a 6.1/10. NBC finished with an average 4.94 million viewers and a 3.4/6. FOX finished with an average 4.39 million viewers and a 2.7/4. Univision finished with an average 1.70 million viewers and a 1.2/2. Telemundo finished with an average 1.30 million viewers and a 1.0/2. The CW finished with an average million viewers and a 1.0/2.

Social Media Research
Social Media Trends From Adoption To Demographics
More than three-quarters (76%) of internet-using adults – and almost two-thirds (66%) of American adults overall – use at least one social networking site, according to the latest social media adoption report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The 66% of adults using social media represents a slight uptick from 62% over the last couple of years, with increases in adoption seen for the 18-29 and 65+ groups, among others.
The following provides a brief overview of adoption trends by demographic group. The Pew report trends adoption rates back to 2005, when social networking use was nascent at just 7% of adults. However, this article takes a more recent look, measuring adoption trends from 2010 (46% of adults) onwards. (See the relevant charts for full trended data to 2005.)
Adoption by Age Group
There continues to be a strong tilt in adoption towards younger age groups, but the gap has closed over the years. This year, 90% of adults aged 18-29 are social media users, up from 78% in 2010. Not far behind, some 78% of 30-49-year-olds count as social media users, with that figure up from 53% in 2010.
Interestingly, the percentage of 50-64-year-olds who use social networking has been stagnant over the past couple of years. This year, 51% report being social media users, down a point from 52% in 2013 and 2014. Nevertheless, that’s substantially higher than the 33% who reported social media use in 2010.
Meanwhile, the oldest group (65+) has seen the biggest recent spike in usage. This year, 35% of adults aged 65 and older report using social networking sites, a sizable jump from 27% last year, and triple the proportion (11%) from 2010.
Adoption by Gender
While women are often said to be the more active gender on social media, adoption rates among men and women have remained fairly comparable over the years, with the gap in adoption never exceeding 8 percentage points. This year, 68% of female adults report using at least one social networking site, versus 62% of men. Women have consistently – albeit slightly – outpaced men in usage since at least 2008, though men appear to have been the earliest adopters, with slightly higher rates of usage in 2005 and 2006.
Adoption by Education Level
Over the years, Americans with lower levels of education (high school graduate or less) have been less likely to use social networking sites as those with some college or a college degree. In fact, those with college or graduate degrees and those with some college education (or an Associate degree) have been almost equally likely to be social media users since 2008, though a slight gap has opened up this year.
Specifically:
76% of Americans with a college or graduate degree use social media, up from 55% in 2010;
70% of those with some college or an Associate degree use social media, up from 56% in 2010; and
54% of American adults with a high school degree or less use social media, up from 35% in 2010.
Adoption by Household Income
As with the age segmentation, there appears to be a trend in adoption when sorting by household income, with adoption increasing alongside household income.
This year, 78% of adults with household income of at least $75k use social networking sites, up from 58% in 2010. Among those with $50-75k in household income, adoption has grown from 52% to 72% over that period, while among the $30-50k group, social media use has increased from 49% to 69%.
The lowest-income group (less than $30k) actually reports a slight dip in social media usage this year, with the 56% adoption rate down slightly from 58% last year and 57% the year before. While adoption has – unsurprisingly – grown from 39% in 2010, the lowest-income group has consistently been the least likely to use social media over the past decade.
Adoption by Race/Ethnicity
As with the gender segmentation, there are few differences when sorting social media use by race and ethnicity. While Hispanics proved the earliest adopters – in being the most likely to social media from 2005 through 2008 – there have been fewer disparities since then. In 2010, for example, adoption was almost equal among non-Hispanics Whites (46%), Hispanics (45%) and non-Hispanic Blacks (43%).
However, the survey results this year show a dip in usage among non-Hispanic blacks, down 4 percentage points to 56% adoption. That now trails the adoption rate among White non-Hispanics (65%) and Hispanics (65%).
Adoption by Community Type
One demographic segment that has habitually lagged in social media adoption is the rural population. A majority 58% of rural Americans now use at least one social networking site, up from 37% in 2010. However, that trails usage among residents of other community types.
Interestingly, while the percentage of urban residents using social media has been flat over the past couple of years (64% this year, compared to 63% last year and 65% in 2013), adoption rates among suburban Americans has steadily increased. As such, suburban residents are now the most likely to be social media users, with 68% reporting use of at least one social networking site.
Mobile News
New Research Provides Most Important Elements of the Overall Mobile Retail Experience
While loosely tossed around, the term ‘convenience’ is often misused. However when it comes to the mobile retail experience, it turns out that Convenience IS the most important element of the mobile retail experience, whether that experience is on the mobile web or in mobile apps, according to Adobe’s latest annual ‘Mobile Consumer Report’ that’s based on a survey of 1,025 US consumers. Price checking and the ability to achieve goals in a few steps are also important to both the mobile web and app experiences, though personalized content emerged as being a more important element to retail apps than mobile retail websites. The mobile phone was originally built around convenience.
Separately, almost 8 in 10 reported receiving online promotions, specials or coupons on their mobile devices at least monthly, and a similar proportion said they use keyword search for products on their mobile device with that frequency.
Television News
CBS To Delay ‘Angel From Hell’
CBS will hold Jane Lynch’s ‘Angel From Hell’ until midseason, according to Variety. The new sitcom will now premiere in February 2016. The comedy will be replaced on the fall schedule by the long-running ‘2 Broke Girls’ which will now begin with its fifth season during the 930P. time slot on Nov. 12, 2015. ‘Angel From Hell’ was scheduled to premiere after the network’s coverage of ‘Thursday Night Football’ which ends broadcast network coverage on Oct. 29, 2015. By holding ‘Angel From Hell’ until February, CBS will be able to promote the new comedy during the network’s coverage of the Super Bowl on Feb. 7, 2016.
U.S. Adults Major Media Daily Consumption
Television Viewing Still Leads
While there has been much talk about the impending death of television, the fact is that people do invest a considerable amount of team on a daily basis watching television. While dropping slightly from the previous year, the average American adult still watches 4 hours and 11 minutes of television each day. That can mean watching it live and/or DVR or ON DEMAND. That number is down 11 minutes since last year. Mobile is #2, as the average American adult spends 2 hours, 54 minutes spent on mobile. While the average adult uses their mobile devices throughout the day and night, it is for shorter periods. So accumulatively it is less than television. However, this total is up 17 minutes from last year and it will continue to rise, especially as the screens increase in size. The desktop/laptop is #3 with the average American adult spending 2 hours and 12 minutes on these devices. That is down by 2 minutes from the previous year.
The average American adult spend exactly 12 hours a day with major media consumption daily.
Surprising to some is that #4 is radio. The average American adult spends 1 hour 27 minutes daily listening to the radio. Obviously much of that is done during drive time in the morning and in the evening drive times. Regardless, it is a considerable amount of time.
The time spent on print is another matter. #5 is magazine. The average American adult spends 17 minutes a day reading magazines. However, that does not boast well for the fact that ‘Nobody Reads The Newspaper Anymore’ as the average American spends just 13 minutes a day reading the newspaper. To be perfectly clear, this study conducted by eMarketer does not include TV, radio and/or print digested on digital/mobile.
