Definitions:
Rating
: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings are available at approximately 11 a.m. ET the day after telecast. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. 
Share (of Audience): 
The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. 
Time Shifted Viewing:
 Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live +Same-Day and Live +7 Day. Time-shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live +7 ratings include  viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

FOX fall TV 2016 schedule: ‘Lethal Weapon’ pairs with ‘Empire,’’24: Legacy’ gets Super Bowl premiere

$

FOX has set its schedule for 2016-17, and like NBC did with its slate, it’s launching a small number of shows in the fall and loading up for early 2017.

That’s not a big surprise, considering the network is entering its first season without “American Idol” since 2002 and needs a lot of programming to fill the hole. Just three new shows (“Lethal Weapon,” “The Exorcist” and “Son of Zorn”) will debut in the fall, along with a special presentation of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” airing in October.

A whopping nine newcomers — or eight, if you don’t count the return of “Prison Break” as a new show — will get winter or spring berths, with several sharing timeslots.

The network also says “24: Legacy” will premiere after the Super Bowl in February before settling into Monday nights.

Here’s how it all breaks down. All times are ET/PT, with new shows in bold.

The night’s five other finales were basically in line with their numbers from a week ago. “Survivor” (2.1) held steady for CBS with both last week and its fall finale, pending updates (the finale ended about 10:15 p.m.). ABC’s “The Middle” (1.6), “Modern Family” (2.1, tying its series low) and “Black-ish” (1.5) all matched last week as well. “The Goldbergs” (1.8) is even with its fast national number from a week ago; it adjusted  up in the finals.

The CW’s “Arrow” (0.8) and “Supernatural” (0.7) and NBC’s “Chicago PD” (1.4) were all on par with last week. “Law & Order: SVU” fell two tenths to a 1.2.

The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns.

Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing.

Definitions:
Rating
: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings are available at approximately 11 a.m. ET the day after telecast. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. 
Share (of Audience): 
The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. 
Time Shifted Viewing:
 Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live +Same-Day and Live +7 Day. Time-shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live +7 ratings include  viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

The 2016-17 TV season begins in just six weeks. As fall approaches, TV by the Numbers will be looking at each night of the broadcast networks’ schedule to identify competitive timeslots, see which newcomers have a real shot at success and which veteran shows will keep their ratings up.

Wednesday night features four new series, a couple of which have decent chances to succeed. It also features the No. 1 scripted show on broadcast TV, the No. 2 comedy and some of the longest-running shows on the air. Let’s break it down.

The lineup
All times are ET/PT. New shows in italics.

Network 8 p.m. 8:30 p.m. 9 p.m. 9:30 p.m. 10 p.m. 10:30 p.m.
ABC The Goldbergs (Sept. 21) Speechless (Sept. 21) Modern Family (Sept. 21) Black-ish (Sept. 21) Designated Survivor (Sept. 21)
CBS Survivor (Sept. 21) Criminal Minds (Sept. 28) Code Black (Sept. 28)
The CW Arrow (Oct. 5) Frequency (Oct. 5)
FOX Lethal Weapon (Sept. 21) Empire (Sept. 21)
NBC Blindspot (Sept. 21; premieres at 10 p.m. Sept 14) Law & Order: SVU (Sept. 21) Chicago PD (Sept. 21)

 

The incumbent

“Empire” has been the No. 1 show on the broadcast networks (excluding the NFL) each of the past two seasons. In 2015-16 its same-day ratings were 19 percent higher than the No. 2 entertainment show (4.4 to “The Big Bang Theory’s” 3.7). With that kind of cushion, it seems unlikely to relinquish the crown this season.

The newbies

FOX’s “Lethal Weapon” will get the pre-“Empire” spot, which helped “Rosewood” establish itself last season. The CW is putting “Frequency” behind “Arrow,” and ABC has two new shows: Comedy “Speechless” gets a comfy spot between “The Goldbergs” and “Modern Family,” and drama “Designated Survivor” has the 10 o’clock slot formerly occupied by “Nashville.”

The battle

“Battle” might be overstating things here, but the most interesting questions about the night surround the 8 o’clock hour. “The Goldbergs” should slide into the leadoff spot pretty seamlessly, as it pulled in better 18-49 ratings than “The Middle” last season. “Speechless” has been receiving good early word for its pilot, but whether it can be a stable bridge to “Modern Family” and the rest of the night is, obviously, up in the air now.

“Lethal Weapon,” similarly, has earned good early notices. Being next to “Empire” will certainly help it, but if it can do more to stand on its own that will be a boon to FOX. And then there’s …

The wildcard

“Blindspot” was the top-rated new show of last fall, but it faded badly in its second half after a long layoff (2.3 in 18-49 from September-November, 1.4 from March-May). Now it’s tasked with kicking off NBC’s Wednesday without the benefit of “The Voice” as a lead-in.

A similar move helped doom “Revolution” in 2013-14, and it would be foolish to assume “Blindspot” will rebound to its fall 2015 numbers. Its potential saving grace could be the show it’s replacing: “The Mysteries of Laura” didn’t set an exceptionally high bar with its 1.1 season average last year. If “Blindspot” can clear that, it may be able to survive.

The forecast

Wednesday doesn’t feature a lot of big moves. That’s perhaps not surprising on a night that features three shows — “Law & Order: SVU,” “Survivor” and “Criminal Minds” — that have been on the air for at least a dozen years and another (“Modern Family”) going into its eighth season. The ratings picture for the night therefore doesn’t seem likely to change all that much either.

“Empire” should still dominate the night, and ABC’s comedy lineup should remain solid, although “Modern Family” has begun to fade some as it enters its later years. “Survivor,” “Criminal Minds,” “SVU,” “Chicago PD” and “Arrow” are all known quantities as well.

ABC may have a shot at regaining some juice at 10 with “Designated Survivor,” which doesn’t face the stiffest competition. Name recognition will likely help “Lethal Weapon” get out of the gate, but The CW could face a bit of a regression since “Frequency” may not retain as well out of “Arrow” as “Supernatural” did last season.

Football, ‘Empire’ and NBC lead week 2: Broadcast Top 25 and network rankings

The ratings-rich stayed that way in the second week of the 2016-17 season, with “Empire” and “The Big Bang Theory” again holding down the Top 2 spots among entertainment shows in adults 18-49. “Empire’s” 3.7 rating edged “Big Bang’s” 3.6 for the week.

“Sunday Night Football” (6.7 in 18-49, 18.06 million viewers) remained at No. 1 in both demographics and total viewers. The first presidential debate isn’t ranked below as the networks carried it commercial-free (all three nets’ coverage would make the Top 25 otherwise). NBC had the biggest post-debate audience with a 4.0 and 12.76 million viewers.

NBC led the network race again, while CBS took a big hit without a “Thursday Night Football” broadcast. Here are the network standings for week 2 and the season to date:

Cable news coverage of the record-setting first presidential debate and a pair of NFL games are the only cable entries in the combined Top 25 for the second week of the season.

CNN’s debate coverage* is the top cable show among adults 18-49, tying for fifth overall in the combined rankings with a 3.6 rating.”Monday Night Football” scored a 3.1 for ESPN, good for 11th place. Fox News had the biggest debate audience at 11.43 million, which ranks ninth.

(*The broadcast networks’ debate coverage isn’t ranked because it aired commercial-free. NBC, ABC and CBS all would have ranked in the Top 25 had it been included.)
