Despite holding the record for the latest start time for a post-Super Bowl program ever, starting at 11:14 p.m. ET, the series premiere of CBS’ “Tracker” amassed 18.4 million viewers on Sunday, February 11, and was the most watched primetime entertainment program since the 2021 post-Super Bowl premiere of “The Equalizer,” also on CBS.

After three days of playback (Live+3) and the upcoming encore airing of the series premiere on Thursday, February 15 (10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT), “Tracker” is projected to exceed 25 million viewers or more by the end of the week.

Compared to last year’s post-Super Bowl airing of “Next Level Chef” on FOX (15.85 million viewers on February 12, 2023), the new drama series starring Justin Hartley (“The Young and the Restless,” “Passions”) was up +16% among Total Viewers and delivered more viewers than any primetime entertainment program this season. Additionally, “Tracker” amassed over 130 million potential social media impressions.*

Immediately after “Tracker” and the local news on CBS affiliates, the network returned with “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (starting at 12:50 a.m. ET/9:50 p.m. PT), which averaged 3.74 million viewers and was the show’s largest Live+Same Day audience since the post-Super Bowl broadcast on February 7, 2021 at 12:14 a.m ET/9:14 p.m. PT.

With a start time of 12:50 a.m. ET, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” now marks the latest start time for a post-Super Bowl late-night show. Following the Stephen Colbert-hosted talk show was the new late-night talker “After Midnight” hosted by Taylor Tomlinson. Guests for the show included Wayne Brady, Maria Bamford and Kevin Smith. “After Midnight,” which premiered just last month, scored its most-watched episode with 2.03 million viewers.

CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday became the most-watched telecast in history across all platforms, including the CBS Television Network, Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, and CBS Sports, Univision, and NFL digital properties, including NFL+, topping last year’s game with 123.4 million viewers tuning in across all platforms, up +7% vs. last year’s Super Bowl, which held the previous record (115.1 million).

On CBS alone, 120 million viewers watched the game, marking the largest audience ever for a single network and capped off an impressive record-setting season for CBS Sports. During the 2023-2024 season, “The NFL ON CBS” scored its most-watched regular season since the NFL returned to CBS in 1998 and posted the network’s best postseason viewership since 1998.

At press time, streaming data was not yet available for “Tracker,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “After Midnight.”

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I really enjoyed today's show. Today was the most I ever liked Martin. It was very sweet how he invited Eva to get to know his family. He has good chemistry with her (along with Kat) and I liked how she got to know and started to bond with his family including Samantha who was understandably standoffish with her at first. I thought her styling Samantha with different looks at the end was cute. Martin's family is her family now too and I liked how he made that clear to everyone at pizza night at his home. The twins have a new auntie.

        I think it will be interesting to watch Martin/Eva bond along with her bonding with the rest of the family. And seeing how others including Nicole and especially Kat react to that. I thought for a moment that Kat might actually show up at pizza night but she didn't. I also enjoyed Eva trying with Kat. They do have chemistry together and they are cute, lol. I do think they could end up being twins, but even if they aren't I still enjoy them together. Whether it's sparring or Eva trying or whatever.

      There were lots of spoiler pics for week of May 5-9 of Devon/Lily/Holden/Damian/Amy/Nate/Audra. I posted them on the spoiler thread that week because they all looked so pretty. I was hopeful.  Sorry to read in the recaps that it was mostly discussion of Dumas!

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Random Hump Day Reactions Despite my better judgment about commenting on appearances—what is going on with Philip’s skin? He looks distractingly sunburned. Did the makeup team forget to use foundation? Or powder? Or that they’re broadcasting in high definition? Meanwhile, Kristen looked like the saddest Alice in Wonderland. The dirndl was cute, but everyone in that mansion could desperately use a pop of primary color—and a reason to smile. It’s one thing for Belle to be blinded by love for EJ. It’s another for her to hear him admit to kidnapping Rachel and treat it like a punchline. There's zero urgency from anyone about getting Rachel or Kat back to Salem. Kristen and Cat seem to forget their long-lost mothers are still being held elsewhere against their will. At least when Doc, Kayla, and Kate went missing, people cared. Paulina even talked to that urn! (Still waiting to find out who was in the urn, by the way…) Raise your hand if you believe Rachel innocently brought up Tate’s baby. If your hand is up, do not click on any suspicious email links today. You’re vulnerable. And finally, deep breaths: Jamey—or someone he edits—named the miracle drug Versavix. Fun fact: real drug names are developed by branding teams after the research is done. Versavix sounds like the draft name someone scribbled during a Red Bull crash and forgot to replace. This isn’t even a good fake drug name. It’s like they forgot that the same show once gave us a literal ‘love potion’ that made Sami fall for Austin. Versavix makes me nostalgic for the days of ‘L-dopa’ and Stefano’s mind control chips, at least they didn’t sound like a discontinued allergy medication. (crud, another day, another broken promise to stop complaining about this).

      Brandon said that a couple of months ago, and MVJ replied in agreement.  I'm intrigued.

      So many of the problems stem from there being one main family. As a result, Vernon and Anita don't have contemporaries to interact with which leaves them primarily as talk-to's. If and when they bring on her bandmates, it would benefit them to establish at least one as a main character with a family. If they ever brought on Jacob's mom, she could be another person that Anita could regularly interact with.
