TV Ratings: NBC's 'One Direction: The TV Special' fizzles as CBS, ABC split Tuesday

Fast National ratings for Tuesday, December 23, 2014. NBC's "One Direction: The TV Special" dominated Tuesday night among females 12-17, but failed to strike a cord in any other demographic as CBS repeats and ABC holiday specials ruled a sleepy Christmas Eve eve on Tuesday. Repeats of "NCIS," NCIS: Los Angeles" and "NCIS: New Orleans" were Tuesday's most watched shows overall, while encores of "Shrek the Halls" and "Toy Story That Time Forgot" led in the key demo for ABC. And NBC's three celebrity-driven specials all did the same weak demo number and drew under 3.7 million viewers. On to the numbers... Among adults 18-49, ABC averaged a 1.1 rating for Tuesday night, edging out the 1.0 rating for CBS in the key demographic. NBC's 0.7 key demo rating, Fox's 0.5 key demo rating and the 0.3 key demo rating for The CW trailed. Overall, though, CBS cruised with an estimated 8.95 million viewers and a 5.7 rating/10 share for Tuesday primetime. »
