Preliminary Analysis: The first day of 2021 was a rather motionless night on broadcast with Fox's 'WWE Smackdown' (0.5) taking the lead despite a five-tenth decline. Elsewhere, ABC got decent mileage out of 'Shark Tank' (0.4) and '20/20' (0.4) encores. Those were roughly on-par with NBC's 'Weakest Link' (0.4) and 'Dateline' (0.4) repeats. CBS had less luck with encores of 'MacGyver' (0.2), 'Magnum PI' (0.2), and 'Blue Bloods' (0.3). The CW aired the broadcast debut of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' (0.1) and a 'Masters of Illusion' repeat (0.1).
Finals Update: The repeats of Shark Tank (+0.1), MacGyver (+0.1), Magnum PI (+0.1),
