“The Real”” is off to a good start — especially in New York.
After two days on the air, the summer tryout talk show is up 55 percent from what repeats of “Dr. Oz” averaged last year in the timeslot (noon on Ch. 5).
It’s also performed strongly among its target demo, increasing its viewership among women 25-54 by 63 percent over what the “Dr. Oz” repeats were pulling in last season — and it was up an identical 63 percent in women 18-49.
The series — hosted by Tamar Braxton, Adrienne Bailon, Loni Love, Tamera Mowry-Housley and Jeannie Mai — has also performed well nationally, increasing its timeslots 38 percent nationwide from what aired in those slots last year.
It’s a bigger story, however, among women viewers; nationally, “The Real” is up a whopping 80 percent in women 25-54 over last year, while it’s up 60 percent in women 18-49.
In New York, meanwhile, Kris Jenner’s “Kris” — which launched the same day as “The Real” — is down 10 percent and 36 percent, respectively, in women 25-54 and 18-49 from last year’s timeslot average (11 a.m. on Ch. 5) after two days on the air (Monday and Tuesday).
