For Monday, November 16, 2015 (Posted on November 17, 2015)
ABC #1 Broadcast Network on Monday as ‘Dancing With The Stars’ was the top program with over 12 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network had the top broadcast program but slipped to second because of the ‘Battle @ 10P’ yet still eaked out a narrow victory Monday in the preliminary overnight ratings. At 8P, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ finished with an average 12.235 million viewers and an 8.0/12. At 10P, the fading ‘Castle’ finished with an average 6.797 million viewers and a 4.5/7. Although they got back together ever so briefly for their delayed Anniversary, Kate and Rick are fading because of the crazy story arc which is letting fans know they don’t care any more about what Kate’s problems are. Blame this fall on the writers and the runners. As for Rick Castle, fans love him.
NBC
The Peacock Network brought out its big guns to stop CBS’ four day winning streak and finished as the #2 broadcast network on Monday in the preliminary overnight ratings. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ finished with an average 11.49 million viewers and a 6.9/11. Then at 10P, ‘Blindspot’ finished with an average 8.187 million viewers and a 5.0/9 to win the ‘Battle @ 10P’ on Monday. NOTE: the NBC Affiliate in Cincinnati carried the NFL game thus may have influenced NBC’s overnight ratings.
ESPN
Walt’s Sport Network presented ‘Monday Night Football’. It was expected to win the night with its contest between the Houston Texans and Cincinnati Bengals, which averaged an 8.6 overnight household rating, according to Nielsen, up from last week’s season-low 8.1 for the Chicago Bears and San Diego Chargers. The Texans’ surprise victory, 10-6, over the previously undefeated Bengals delivered a 26.1 rating in Houston (15.7 on ESPN and a 10.4 on KIAH-CW) and a 44.6 in Cincinnati (15.6 on ESPN and 29.0 on WLWT-NBC). Dayton (20.8), Columbus (13.5) and Las Vegas (12.4) rounded out the top five markets. Final numbers will be posted when available.
CBS
The Tiffany Network had its regular lineup on Monday but it wasn’t enough. At 8P, ‘Supergirl’ finished with an average 7.874 million viewers and a 4.9/8. Then at 9P, ‘Scorpion’, with one of the most exciting episodes this season as the team fights in the UN, finished with an average 9.079 million viewers and a 5.6/9. At 10P, ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ finished with an average 7.784 million viewers and a 5.0/9.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcasting had some good news and bad. At 8P, the good news was that ‘Gotham’ finished with an average 4.368 million viewers and a 2.7/4. This programs screams for having Fish Mooney back. It’s losing steam. Then at 9P, ‘Minority Report’ is the bad news as it finished with an average 1.175 million viewers and a 1.1/2 as it has lost all of the steam it ever had.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t tried. At 8P, ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ is making some kind of comeback as it is now averaging 1.172 million viewers and a 0.7/1, quite a hike up in the past several weeks. Then at 9P, ‘Jane The Virgin’ finished with an average 1.451 million viewers and a 1.0/1. The network increased its viewership Monday compared to the similar day the previous year.
Late Night
At 1135P, NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ finished with a 2.7/7. CBS’ ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ finished with a 2.6/7. ABC’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ finished with a 2.0/5. At 1235A, ABC’s ‘Nightline’ finished with a 1.4/5. NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ finished with a 1.4/5. CBS’ ‘Late Late Show with James Corden’ finished with a 1.1/4.
For The Record

NBC finished #2 Monday with an average 10.416 million viewers and a 6.3/10. CBS finished with an average 8.246 million viewers and a 5.2/8. FOX finished with an average 3.06 million viewers and a 1.9/3. Univision finished with an average 1.70 million viewers 1.2/2. The CW finished with an average 1.312 million viewers and a 0.9/1.

Today In TV History
On this date in 1968, one of the biggest television programming blunders in history took place as NBC-TV cut away from the final minutes of a New York Jets-Oakland Raiders game to begin a TV special, ‘Heidi’, on schedule. The Raiders came from behind to beat the Jets 43-32.

Alert: You Are Now Naked! Ads Sync Inaudible Sound To Your Devices
Surreptitious cross-device tracking is now searching your movements, your questions, your life. In an article by Dan Goodin wrote in ars Technica (111615), there is a new threat that uses inaudible, high-frequency sounds to surreptitiously track a person’s online behavior across a range of devices, including phones, TVs, tablets, and computers. Earwitnesses now can say you are being tracked!
The ultrasonic pitches are embedded into TV commercials or are played when a user encounters an ad displayed in a computer browser. While the sound can’t be heard by the human ear, nearby tablets and smartphones can detect it. When they do, browser cookies can now pair a single user to multiple devices and keep track of what TV commercials the person sees, how long the person watches the ads, and whether the person acts on the ads by doing a Web search or buying a product.
Cross-device tracking can be performed through the use of ultrasonic inaudible sound beacons. Compared to probabilistic tracking through browser fingerprinting, the use of audio beacons is a more accurate way to track users across devices. When a user encounters a cross-device tracking advertiser on the web, the advertiser drops a cookie on the computer while also playing an ultrasonic audio through the use of the speakers on the computer or device. The inaudible code is recognized and received on the other smart device by the software development kit installed on it. Some also embed audio beacon signals into TV commercials which are “picked up silently by an app installed on a device unknown to the user. The audio beacon enables companies to know which ads the user saw, how long the user watched the ad before changing the channel, which kind of smart devices the individual uses, along with other information that adds to the profile of each user that is linked across devices.
The user is unaware of the audio beacon, but if a smart device has an app on it that uses the software development kit, the software on the app will be listening for the audio beacon and once the beacon is detected, devices are immediately recognized as being used by the same individual. The only factor that hinders the receipt of an audio beacon by a device is distance. There is NO way for the user to opt-out of this form of cross-device tracking. The users have no knowledge of which apps are using this technology. As of April of 2015, software is used by 67 apps and the company who provides this cross-tracking, monitors 18 million smartphones. Is your smartphone one of them?
The marketers who use this cross-tracking assemble a shockingly detailed snapshot of the person being tracked. The Center for Democracy and Technology wrote in recently filed comments to the Federal Trade Commission, “For example, a company could see that a user searched for sexually transmitted disease (STD) symptoms on her personal computer, looked up directions to a Planned Parenthood on her phone, visits a pharmacy, then returned to her apartment. While previously the various components of this journey would be scattered among several services, cross-device tracking allows companies to infer that the user received treatment for an STD. The combination of information across devices not only creates serious privacy concerns, but also allows for companies to make incorrect and possibly harmful assumptions about individuals.”
“As a person goes about her business, her activity on each device generates different data streams about her preferences and behavior that are siloed in these devices and services that mediate them,” CDT officials wrote. “Cross-device tracking allows marketers to combine these streams by linking them to the same individual, enhancing the granularity of what they know about that person.”
The FTC has scheduled a workshop on Monday to discuss the technology.
Brain Dead
Bloomingdale’s, once a bastion for superb display and advertising, has hit the low mark in advertising copy writing. One can only imagine who wrote this, who edited this and who approved this. It certainly could not have been done by anyone who should be aware of how wrong this actually is.

International Box Office
James Bond dominated the Chinese box office this weekend as it opened with $48 million for the Friday-Sunday weekend, a record for a non 3D U.S. film. The Chinese launch has pushed the ‘Spectre’ worldwide gross to nearly $550 million, led by $140.7 million in the U.S. after 10 days. In China, ‘Spectre’ is only $11 million short of the entire run of ‘Skyfall’, which was $59 million in 2012. Its opening day gross of $15 million on Friday set four other records for China, the biggest Friday opening any 2D U.S. film; the biggest November opening day; the biggest Bond opening and the biggest Sony Pictures opening day of all time. The film which reportedly needs $650 million to break even, will be profitable. The only question is how profitable will it be? And, will it beat ‘Skyfall’ box office?
