Saturday TV Ratings 2/27/21: Saturday Night Live Slips, NBA Has Weak Showing (UPDATED)


Ratings Analysis: The Nick Jonas-hosted edition of 'SNL' slid down to a 1.1 A18-49 rating, a full tenth below the week-ago episode (1.20). Before 'Saturday Night', NBC had a rather lackluster night as repeats of 'Young Rock' (0.19), 'Kenan' (0.17), and 'Weakest Link' (0.13) were in abysmal territory. 'SNL Vintage' (0.31) improved a notch at 10. ABC's 'Mavericks v. Nets' NBA game (0.44) was roughly two-tenths behind last week's 'Heat v. Lakers' game (0.59) while 'NBA Countdown' (0.25) fell by three hundredths. CBS had encores of 'FBI' (0.27), 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.23), and a weaker outing of '48 Hours' (0.28). Fox's broadcast of 'PBC Boxing' (0.21) turned out to be marginally stronger than the usual '9-1-1'/'Name That Tune' repeat duo. 

Finals Update: The repeat of FBI (+0.1) and NBA: Mavericks v. Nets (+0.1) adjusted up. The repeats of Kenan (-0.1) and Weakest Link (+0.2) adjusted down.
