- On a sky-high night for overall viewing, I added the full 8:00 ratings on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, plus Monday Night Football, as cable competition. It still graded out as an easier hour than last week, especially with the debate lead-out factor in the mix. I'm not sure if the formula is still being too harsh or not, but I'm not sure what else I could've reasonably done. Even if the slot was a lot easier, Kevin Can Wait's uptick is impressive, but it still dropped a touch in R% due to the CBS target rising by about a tenth in week two. (More on this tomorrow.)
- On the second Monday of the season, the big four broadcasters set their primetime lineups aside from 9:00-11:00 to air the first presidential debate. Early numbers suggest it went considerably higher than the comparable debate in 2012.
- Preliminary debate numbers:
- NBC (5.4), ABC (3.1), CBS (2.8), Fox (1.8)
- That meant only a miniature version of the week two primetime clash, in the 8:00 hour. CBS had a key week two for Kevin Can Wait (2.7), leading out of The Big Bang Theory (3.5). NBC's The Voice (3.3) and ABC's Dancing with the Stars (1.8) aired condensed versions, while Fox went with just Gotham (1.2). We will hold off till finals on analysis.
