    ———-

    -Winners:
    “Empire” (Fox), “Modern Family” (ABC)

    -Honorable Mention:
    “Survivor” (CBS), “The Middle” (ABC), “The Goldbergs” (ABC)

    -Losers:
    “Nashville” (ABC), “Code Black” (CBS)

    ———-

    -Ratings Breakdown:
    Note: The MLB game 5 American League Championship series was featured on FS1 last night.

    “Empire” lifted Fox to midweek victory, of course, with a rock-solid 8.5 rating/13 share in the household overnights at 9 p.m. Comparably, this was a mammoth 286 percent above failed year-ago occupant “Red Band Society” (2.2/ 3 on 10/15/14), and it built from the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “Rosewood” (4.4/ 7) by 93 percent. Overall, “Rosewood” was flat from one week earlier, with a 4.3/ 7 from 8-9 p.m., which translated into 5.75 million viewers and a 1.8 rating/6 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data. That should be good enough to land a back-nine episode order at any given moment.

    Consistency was the observation elsewhere, with Wednesday a perfect example of the benefit of the broadcast networks offering a potpourri of different programming genres. CBS was virtually identical to one week earlier with its combination of “Survivor” (#1: 5.4/ 9), “Criminal Minds” (#3: 5.4/ 9) and episode three of medical drama “Code Black” (#2: 4.3/ 7), which trailed failed year-ago Wednesday 10 p.m. occupant “Stalker” (5.4/ 9 on 10/15/14) by 20 percent. Expect in the vicinity of a 1.2 rating in adults 18-49 for “Code Black,” which is by no means a positive. Ageless and always addictive “Survivor” will likely fall in the low-2 range in the demo.

    ABC was also right on par with last week care of 8-10 p.m. sitcoms “The Middle” (#2: 4.9/ 8), “The Goldbergs” (#4: 4.3/ 7), “Modern Family” (#2: 5.6/ 9) and “black-ish” (#4: 4.0/ 6), and drama “Nashville” (#3: 3.3/ 6), which is unlikely to survive past this season. This same overnight performance one week earlier for “Nashville” only translated into a 1.0/ 3 in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data.

    Elsewhere, NBC continues to prove there is value outside of the coveted 18-49 demographic with its older-skewing line-up of “The Mysteries of Laura” (#3: 4.6/ 7), “Law & Order: SVU” (#4: 4.1/ 6) and “Chicago PD” (#1: 4.4/ 8). “The Mysteries of Laura” just received a script order for five additional episodes outside of the 13 ordered this season. And The CW capped off the night with dramas “Arrow” (#5: 1.8/ 3) and veteran “Supernatural” (#5: 1.2/ 2), which remain an attraction for the younger demos.

  • 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.
