Final Broadcast Ratings: August 13, 2015

Thursday night was filled with the first preseason games for 12 teams, which means we have around 100 markets, that preempted network programming on all five networks. ABC, FOX and NBC were all right around each other in the ratings, with CBS easily leading the night. The main difference was BIG BROTHER, which mostly held its own despite the preemptions, in major markets.

Of the top 10 TV markets, New York had two games (CNS & NBC) and Philadelphia, LA and Atlanta were not preempted.
