Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 1/12/16

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: New Girl (1.5) adjusted up and Hollywood Game Night (1.1) adjusted down.
• It was a promising opening night as ABC Family made a channel name change to Freeform; first was the premiere of amazingly resilient Pretty Little Liars (1.06), which was actually up a tenth from its last winter premiere (presumably still riding the high from the huge 1.39 summer finale).
• That led into newbie Shadowhunters (0.76), which was one of the network's most impressive recent premieres. For comparison, summer 2014 lead-out Chasing Life and summer 2015 lead-out Stitchers each opened with a 0.53 out of 1.1ish PLL lead-ins.

• Another big primetime event (President Obama's final State of the Union address) led to another quiet evening for the broadcast entertainment options. Only the 8/7c hour was available to the networks, and only two of the big four even ran originals in that hour. But they were mostly rewarded for their efforts; Fox's New Girl (1.4) and Grandfathered (1.0) as well as NBC's Hollywood Game Night (1.2) all had 100% holds in their second week in the timeslots.
• CBS still won the hour in repeat mode with NCIS (1.4), while ABC brought up the rear with more repeats of Fresh Off the Boat (0.8) and The Muppets (0.6).

• The CW often likes throwing originals up against big four simulcasts, and tonight was no exception as iZombie (0.5) returned from hiatus. It was a low-end-of-normal number for the show, which seems fine since it also had a much reduced (if still good) lead-in from a MADtv 20th anniversary special (0.6).

• The State of the Union coverage probably won't be available after finals since there were no ads, but NBC dominated the big four in the 9:00 hour with a preliminary 1.5 A18-49 rating over CBS (1.1), ABC (1.0) and Fox (0.7).
