    Metered Market Wednesday Ratings
    Victory for the Eye Net, but “CSI: Cyber” is a Weak Link

    Wednesday 5/06/15

    Household
    Rating/Share
    CBS 5.7/ 9
    Fox 5.4/ 9
    ABC 4.5/ 7
    NBC 4.4/ 7
    CW 1.5/ 2

    -Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Wednesday 5/07/14:
    NBC: +47, ABC: +12, Fox: – 4, CW: – 6, CBS: -11

    ———-

    Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. These overnights are your first look at the ratings and a precursor to what could lie ahead. And we take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.

    -Winners:
    “Survivor” (CBS), “Modern Family” (ABC), “Criminal Minds” (CBS)

    -Modest:
    “CSI: Cyber” (CBS)

    -Losers (excluding repeats):
    “The Mysteries of Laura” (NBC), “Nashville” (ABC)

    ———-

    Ratings Breakdown:
    CBS got over the “hump” in winning household overnight fashion care of its Wednesday combination of “Survivor” (5.9 rating/10 share), “Criminal Minds” (6.4/10) and recent entry “CSI: Cyber” (4.8/ 9). “CSI: Cyber,” however, is expected to trail competing “Chicago PD” on NBC (#2: 4.6/ 8) in adults 18-49 (and the other key demos). And a loss of 25 percent from lead-in “Criminal Minds” does not bode well for a second season renewal. Chances of a final abbreviated season of parent “CSI” is a better bet than “CSI: Cyber” returning in 2015-16.

    On Fox, veteran “American Idol” scored a 5.4/ 9 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m., which was on par from one week earlier. But that only translated into 7.36 million viewers and a 1.6 rating/5 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data. Even so, it should be enough to return for a 15th season in 2016.

    Over at ABC, there was nothing unusual to report care of 8-10 p.m. sitcoms “The Middle” (#3: 4.9/ 8), “The Goldbergs” (#3t, 4.3/ 7), “Modern Family” (#2: 6.0/10) and freshman ‘black-ish” (4.4/ 7), and on-the-fence drama “Nashville” (#3: 3.5/ 6). While ABC could leave the Wednesday sitcom rotation intact next season, look for some degree of change (which could include still reliable “The Middle” being moved to Tuesday).

    Elsewhere, NBC’s older skewing “The Mysteries of Laura” opened with a fourth-place 4.3/ 7 from 8-9 p.m., which is not a good sign for a second season. And it led into a 4.5/ 7 for veteran “Law & Order: SVU” at 9 p.m. (#4) into aforementioned “Chicago PD” at a second-place 4.6/ 8 at 10 p.m.

    The CW, meanwhile, had typical overnight results for its pairing of “Arrow” (#5: 2.0/ 3) and “Supernatural” (#5: 1.1/ 2).

  • About the Daily Ratings
    Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.

    The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).

    Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.

    Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).

    Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

    If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent
    Ratings FAQ.
