Fox’s regular night and time premiere of 24: Legacy, followed by the debut of APB, put the network back on Monday’s prime-time map.
After a post-Super Bowl LI showcase (and a less than stellar showing), 24: Legacy drew 225,404 D-FW viewers in the 7 p.m. hour, losing only to CBS’ leadoff sitcom, Kevin Can Wait (232,675). But the new Jack Bauer-less version, with Islamic terrorists again at large, beat all competing programming among advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds by drawing 89,799 of ‘em.
APB, in which a cocksure hi-tech billionaire steps in to “save” a crime-ridden Chicago, then pulled in 247,217 total viewers and 73,763 in the 18-to-49 age range to sweep the 8 to 9 p.m. Nielsens in both ratings measurements.
Monday night’s usual pacesetter, ABC’s The Bachelor, fell to third from 7 to 8 p.m. in total viewers before running second in the 8 p.m. hour. Among 18-to-49-year-olds, it lost to Kevin Can Wait in addition to the two Fox dramas (but by just a hair to APB).
At 9 p.m., CBS’ Scorpion had the most total viewers (196,320) while Fox4’s local newscast was tops with 18-to-49-year-olds (41,692).
Here are Monday’s local news derby results for the third weekday of the February ratings “sweeps.”
TEGNA8 and CBS11 tied for the most total viewers at 10 p.m., but Fox4 dominated with 25-to-54-year-olds (main advertiser target audience for news programming).
Fox4 also returned to the top spot in the 6 a.m. competitions after a very slow start last week.
NBC5 ruled at both 5 and 6 p.m. in total viewers and 25-to-54-year-olds.
