NFL Playoffs, Bob’s Burgers and Jeopardy: GOAT Draw Significant OOH Audiences

The Tunity Analytics Weekly National Out-of-Home Viewer Rankings had a diverse collection of programs as sports, news and entertainment programs were all represented. The four NFL Divisional playoff round games took the first four spots and two NFL pregame shows, Football Night in America and The NFL Today, followed. The Texans-Chiefs game on CBS was the most-watched NFL playoff game of the postseason among OOH viewers thus far as it averaged 9.35MM OOH viewers and peaked at 4:38 PM with 10.77MM OOH viewers. 

 

Bob’s Burgers claimed the seventh spot and was the most-watched non-NFL related program. The episode benefitted from a strong lead-in as it followed the Seahawks-Packers game on FOX. Two Fox News programs, America’s Newsroom and Outnumbered, claimed the eighth and tenth spots, respectively. Familiar face, ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, cracked the Top Ten as Monday’s episode took home the ninth spot. 

As previously mentioned, Bob’s Burgers was the most-watched non-NFL program of the week among OOH viewers and thus tops the Top Ten Entertainment. ABC had a strong week as it accounted for four programs, including three Jeopardy: GOAT’s and fan favorite, The Bachelor. Newcomers, NBC’s Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector and HGTV’s Beachfront Bargain Hunt, claimed the fifth spot and tenth spots, respectively, and returning to the Top Ten Entertainment include NCIS, Bless the Harts and FBI
