    “Empire” (Fox), “Survivor” (CBS), “The Middle” (ABC), “The Goldbergs” (ABC), “Modern Family” (ABC)

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

    ———-

    -Ratings Breakdown:
    Led by “Empire,” Fox is the network to beat on Wednesday. “Empire” topped the night at an 8.7 rating/14 share in the household overnights from 9-10 p.m., which was just three percent below the 9.0/14 one week earlier. And that 9.0 in the overnights translated into 13.74 million viewers and a 5.5 rating/17 share in adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data). Once Live + 7 Day results are factored in, anticipate another week of over 20-million viewers for “Empire.”

    Episode three of “Empire” lead-in “Rosewood” dropped to a 4.3/ 7 in the overnights at 8 p.m. (#4), which was 10 percent below the 4.8/ 8 one week earlier. Year-ago occupant “Hell’s Kitchen” only scored a 3.1/ 5 (on 10/08/14), and this should still be good for close to just under a 2.0 in adults 18-49. Given the underwhelming performance for “Minority Report” on Monday (and the word underwhelm is kind), expect a full season episode order for “Rosewood.”

    Unfortunately for Fox, there are holes aplenty outside of Wednesday.

    On CBS, warhorse “Survivor” continues to successfully tick, with a 5.4/ 9 in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m. good for over 9-million viewers and an expected 2.3-2.4 rating in adults 18-49 once the Live + Same Day data is released. Veteran “Criminal Minds,” however, slipped to a 5.4/ 8 in the overnights at 9 p.m., which was 13 percent below its 6.2/10 season opener one week earlier and it should fall in the vicinity of a 1.7 rating in the demo. As for this current season of “Survivor,” this is another “A” grade edition Mr. Burnett.

    With weaker lead-in support, week two of CBS drama “Code Black” dropped to a 4.4/ 8 (#1) at 10 p.m., which was 21 percent below the 5.6/10 one week earlier and 14 percent below marginal “Stalker” on the year-ago evening (5.1/ 9 on 10/08/14). Chances are “Code Black” will only score about a 1.2 rating in adults 18-49.

    In season-premiere news, “Arrow” on The CW was right on par with the year-ago opener at a 1.9/ 3 in the overnights at 8 p.m. (which should result in about a 1.0 rating in adults 18-49). But veteran “Supernatural,” which is now in season 11, slipped to a 1.2/ 2 at 9 p.m. Comparably, that was 37 percent below the 1.9/ 5 year-ago opener (which benefitted out of the record 3.4/ 5 opening levels for lead-in “The Flash” on 10/08/14), and 33 below the 8:30 p.m. portion of “Arrow” (21.8/ 3).

    Over at ABC, the two-hour comedy block – “The Middle” (#2: 5.1/ 9), “The Goldbergs” (#4: 4.5/ 7), “Modern Family” (#2: 5.5/ 9) and “black-ish” (#4: 4.1/ 6) – remained a solid alternative. But tired “Nashville” dipped to a 3.3/ 6 in the overnights at 10 p.m., which will probably result in only about a 1.1-rating in adults 18-49.

    NBC, meanwhile, remains a respectable older-skewing alternative with its line-up of dramas “The Mysteries of Laura” (#3: 4.9/ 8), “Law & Order: SVU” (#4: 4.7/ 7) and “Chicago PD” (#2: 4.3/ 7).

  • 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
