For Sunday, October 25, 2015 (Posted on October 26, 2015)
NBC
The Peacock Network won again on Sunday with pro football all night long. And it won’t changed next week as two unbeaten teams meet for the first time in NFL history with 6-0 records (Green Bay Packers go to the Denver Broncos). More on that next week. At 7P, ‘Football Night In America’ finished with 7.62 million viewers. Then 8P, ‘NFL Pre-Game’ finished with 15.46 million viewers. At 830P, ‘Sunday Night Football’ as the Carolina Panthers defeated the Philadelphia Eagle, 27-16 to remain unbeaten with an average 19.13 million viewers.
CBS
The Tiffany Network finished #2 on Sunday with its regularly scheduled programming. At 7P, ’60 Minutes’ finished with an average 10.23 million viewers and a 6.5/11, down significantly (-25%+) from last week’s NFL overrun lead-in. And at 8P, the new powerhouse drama on Sunday evenings, ‘Madam Secretary’ finished with an average 10.90 million viewers and a 6.8/10. It was up +13.48%. At 9P, in a completely retooled show, ‘The Good Wife’ presented a brilliant episode as it also delivered an increased audience (+9.07%) with an average 8.82 million viewers and a 5.7/9 as it blew away its dramatic competition. Only football beat it. Then at 10P, ‘CSI: Cyber’ finished prime time with an average 6.70 million viewers and a 4.4/8, an increase of +28.58%. What all of this means is that after football, CBS will be the power to beat.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast finished third on Sunday because of a huge NFL overrun beginning the prime time evening. At 7P, ‘NFL Football Overrun’ delivered a huge audience of 20.06 million viewers and an 11.8/20, as the New York Giants defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 27-20. At 730P, ‘The OT’ finished with an average 9.98 million viewers and a 6.2/10, slipping to #2 in the time slot behind ’60 Minutes’. At 8P, ‘The Simpsons’ with its Halloween special, ‘Treehouse of Horrors’, finished with an average 6.66 million viewers and a 4.0/6, a huge increase do to the lingering football following. At 830P, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ finished with one of its highest audiences ever with an average 4.47 million viewers and a 2.6/4. At 9P, the sampling continued as ‘The Family Guy’ finished with an average 3.89 million viewers and a 2.4/4. Then at 930P, ‘The Last Man On Earth’ also finished with an average 3.36 million viewers and a 2.0/3 as NFL football and the traditionally great ‘Simpson’s’ Halloween show pushed the network to new heights on Sunday as many of its programs were sampled and delivered bigger than normal ratings.
ABC
The Alphabet Network on Sunday finished #4 as pro football pushed their regularly schedule programming to the bottom. At 7P, ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ finished with an average 5.33 million viewers 3.0/5. At 8P, ‘Once Upon A Time’ finished with an average 5.04 million viewers and a 3.0/5. Then at 9P, ‘Blood & Oil’ demonstrated why it is not a match for a Sunday slot as it dropped to a new low of 3.70 million viewers and a 2.5/4. It will be cancelled. At 10P, the rookie ‘Quantico’ built the audience back up but it was too much to overcome as it could only average 5.07 million viewers and a 3.3/6, the biggest share of the night on Disneyville TV. This program needs to be less complicated and bring everything into real-time. The public loves the lead. Now let her carry the show with no more flashbacks.
For The Record
NBC finished #1 Sunday with an average 15.62 million viewers and a 9.3/15. CBS finished #2 with an average 9.16 million viewers and a 5.9/10. FOX finished #3 with an average 8.03 million viewers and a 4.8/8. ABC finished #4 with an average 4.78 million viewers and a 3.0/5. Univision finished with an average 1.70 million viewers and a 1.2/2. Telemundo fell off the board with a 0.5/1.

Integrated Marketing Research
Millennials Are Cautious, Tech-Savvy Savers
Recovering from the Great Recession has been tough for many, and 57% of Americans reported feeling like they were still in a recession as of the second quarter. According to Nielsen Research, Millennials have been hit particularly hard by the recent turbulence in the economy, but roughly 70% believe their personal finances will be either good or excellent in the next year. They’ve also got their eyes on the future, as they’re most likely to put extra money into savings after they cover their living expenses.
Millennials, defined by Nielsen as consumers born between 1977 and 1995, now account for 24% of the U.S. population. The group is 77 million strong, define themselves by their use of technology, and many have adopted a DIY approach to managing their finances. And when we look at the striations within the Millennial generation, upscale Millennials (those earning more than $75,000/year) represent a notable pocket of opportunity for financial services providers.
Roughly 27% of Millennials fall into the upscale subset, and 15% of them actually earn more than $100,000 per year. In addition to their high incomes, upscale Millennials have amassed significantly more wealth than the overall generation. In fact, the median liquid wealth value (income producing assets) among upscale Millennials is $157,000, which is more than 11 times that of the generation as a whole.
Upscale Millennials are actively engaged in saving for the future. According to Nielsen Financial Track, these consumers are more than twice as likely as the average consumer to have variable-rate interest money market accounts and CD accounts. They’re also actively saving for retirement, as they’re 60% more likely than the average consumer to have an IRA and 87% more likely than the average consumer to have a 401(k) plan.
It’s also no secret that Millennials are active technology users. About 92% of Millennials own smartphones and roughly 61% own tablets. And because of their connection with technology, Millennials are more likely than the average consumer to bank on their PCs, smartphones and tablets, especially when making trades, opening new accounts, conducting research and making remote deposits. Upscale Millennials are even more engaged with tech for their financial needs, as they’re even more likely than their generation as a whole to conduct their primary banking activities online.
