TV Ratings: Second ‘Disney Family Singalong’ Suffers Big Drop

The second time was not nearly as much a charm for ABC’s Disney Family Singalong: Though it still led Sunday’s adults 18-49 ratings, “Volume II” of the special drew only about half the audience of the first one in mid-April. American Idol was fairly steady, and CBS got more decent numbers from its movie night.

The Disney Family Singalong scored a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.74 million viewers, down considerably from the 2.6 and 10.3 million viewers for the April 16 edition. Sunday at 7 p.m. is a lower-usage time than Thursday at 8 p.m., but that’s a big drop nonetheless. American Idol (1.0 in 18-49, 6.1 million viewers) was even in the demo and off a little in viewers versus last week, while the season finale of The Rookie (0.6, 4.67 million) was off slightly in both measures.
