    ———-

    Ratings Breakdown:
    Fox led this second Wednesday of the new television season and will continue to do so as long as “Empire” is running. “Empire” stood well above the competition, with a 9.0 rating/14 share in the household overnights from 9-11 p.m. Comparably, the 10.4/17 in the overnights for the sophomore season premiere of “Empire” one week earlier resulted in to 22.5 million viewers and a record 8.7 rating/27 share in adult 18-49, based on the Live + 3 Day data.

    New lead-in drama “Rosewood” experienced the normal week two erosion, with a 4.8/ 8 in households down by 19 percent from the 5.9/10 one week earlier. Last week that resulted in an initial tune-in of 7.54 million viewers and a 2.4/ 9 in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data. And, like the first episode of “Rosewood,” there was noticeable overnight growth in the second half-hour (16 percent last night: 4.4/ 7 to 5.1/ 8). You can refer to that as pre tune-in for “Empire.”

    In series-premiere news, CBS medical drama “Code Black” was sampled at a dominant 5.6/10 in the household overnights at 10 p.m. Comparably, retention for “Code Black” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “Criminal Minds” (6.3/10) was solid at 89 percent. But, comparably, the “Code Black” opener was seven percent below the year-ago series-premiere of former time period occupant “Stalker” (6.0/10 on 10/01/14), which lasted only one season. The bottom line: The sampling for “Code Black” was adequate (but not significant).

    Earlier in the evening on CBS was always reliable “Survivor” at a 5.4/ 9 (#2) from 8-9 p.m., which was equal to the 90-minute season-opener one week earlier. And that resulted in 9.70 million viewers and a 2.5 rating/9 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data. In other words, veteran “Survivor” is showing no signs of slowing down.

    Aforementioned “Criminal Minds” opened this 11th season at a 6.2/10 (#2) from 9-10 p.m., which was 17 percent below the 7.5/12 opener one year earlier.

    In season-premiere news, “Chicago PD” returned for season three on NBC with a 4.2/ 7 in the overnights at 10 p.m. (#2), which was a minor improvement from its “Law & Order: SVU” lead-in (#4: 4.1/ 7 at 9 p.m.). Given that “SVU grew last week by 71 percent in adults 18-49 in five days (after time-shifting and alternative platform viewing was factored in), compatible “Chicago PD” could ultimately follow the same path.

    Earlier in the evening on NBC was “The Mysteries of Laura” at a 5.0/ 8 in households from 8-9 p.m., which was four percent above the 4.8/ 8 one week earlier. Given how competitive the hour is, there should be room for an older-skewing vehicle like “The Mysteries of Laura.”

    Elsewhere, ABC experienced minor seven percent overnight slippage for the night from one week earlier with its line-up of sitcoms “The Middle” (#1t: 5.4/ 9), “The Goldbergs” (#4: 4.7/ 8). “Modern Family” (#3: 5.9/ 9) and “black-ish” (#4: 4.1/ 7), and perennially sluggish drama “Nashville” (#3: 3.4/ 6 at 10 p.m.). And The CW capped off the night with part two of “The iHeartRadio Music Festival” at a mere 0.7/ 1 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m.

  • 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.
