If the sky isn’t exactly falling on the broadcast TV advertising model, it certainly seems to be a lot closer to the ground than it once was. The ongoing flight of younger viewers from linear television has made a hash of what’s traditionally been a week for sampling new shows and revisiting old favorites, and while the marketing money continues to roll right in, those brands investing in primetime programming are reaching an ever-diminishing subset of would-be consumers. According to the Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the first week of the 2019-20 broadcast season was largely ignored by adults 18-49, as deliveries in the all-important demo fell 12 percent year-over-year to under a 1.4 rating. On average, the Big Four networks during Premiere Week drew just 1.75 million members of the advertiser-coveted group per night, down from nearly 2 million in the year-ago period. This rate of attrition is consistent with a trend that started well before veteran scripted series such as “NCIS” and “Grey’s Anatomy” splashed onto the scene; in three years, Premiere Week deliveries have fallen 28 percent; in five years, they’ve dropped 43 percent.
