“The Wiz Live!” nearly eased on down the road past CBS’ “Thursday Night Football” coverage last night in Nielsen’s 56 metered-market household ratings — and it straight-up walloped the primetime NFL game per the smaller sample-size local people meters. Ultimately, CBS bested NBC per that first very preliminary Nielsen metric, though by just two-tenths of a ratings point. The networks tied for audience share, there. In the 25-market Lpm’s 18-49 demographic — the all-important age-range for broadcast advertisers — NBC’s primetime average actually easily topped that of CBS, with a 4.4/14 versus a 3.1/10. In the rough demo snapshot, the musical beat the.

It was a Cinderella story in last night’s Ncaa basketball tournament championship, with Connecticut and Kentucky making it to the title game in a matchup of two of the lower-seeded teams in history to make it that far. But the fairy tale didn’t quite translate to ratings magic, with the numbers expected to be down from last year. (In the rough, not time-zone-adjusted fast nationals, the game drew a 6.0 in 18-49, down 20% from 2014, and 17.8 million viewers, down 14%.)

Indeed, there’s a lot of typing in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, a lot of button-mashing on laptops and cell phones and a lot of barking new directives in response to the button mashing on laptops and cell phones. The lightning fast retrieval of bad guy info might be a boon to the American agents entrusted with stopping a Russian plot to sink the U.
