Preliminary Broadcast Ratings: Sunday 07/19/15

It was a rather mediocre Sunday night in the broadcast ratings, as only three programs managed to raise above a 1.0 in the A18-49 ratings and draw over five million viewers. With two of those three programs, ABC was able two sweep the demographic ratings, while CBS edges out as the most watched network of the night.

CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD was the most watched and highest rated program, nearly matching its numbers, from a week earlier. BATTLEBOTS, which followed on ABC, did better at retaining its lead in numbers, rising just under 10% in total viewership.

BIG BROTHER continues to do well, for CBS, despite dropping down a notch, in the three demographic categories.

NBC returned its second year summer comedy, WELCOME TO SWEDEN, to bad ratings. Just 1.3 million viewers tuned into the two episodes. Both half hours managed just a 0.1 rating in the A18-34 demo, looking more like a CW comedy, than a Big 4 comedy.
