Ratings Breakdown:
It was all about “The 58th Annual Grammy Awards” on CBS last night, of course, which averaged a16.1 rating/25 share in the household overnights from 8-11:31 p.m. ET. Comparably, this was right on par with the 16.7/26 in the overnights for the year-ago telecast (on Sunday, 2/18/15), and that averaged 24.82 million viewers and an 8.3 rating/23 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data.
Comparably, CBS beat the four competing networks combined by 5.8 household rating points.

In the distant No. 2 spot was ABC care of guilty pleasure “The Bachelor,” which at a still respectable 5.0/ 7 from 8-10 p.m. was 18 percent below the 6.1/ 9 one week earlier, and tired “Castle” (#2: 3.6/ 6 at 10 p.m.). Fox’s pairing of dramas “The X-Files” (#2: 4.5/ 7) and “Lucifer” (#4: 3.2/ 5) slipped by 13 percent and 11 percent, respectively, from one week earlier, which is nothing significant. And NBC could not compete with a trio of series lows for “Superstore” (#4: 2.5/ 4), “Telenovela” (#4: 1.6/ 2) and “The Biggest Loser” (1.8/ 3 from 9-11 p.m.), which needs to take a break. Chances of a second season for “Telenovela” is highly unlike;ly.
The CW capped off this third Monday in February with 8 p.m. special “Mortal Combat X: Machinima’s Chasing the Cup” (#5: 0.6/ 1) and a repeat of “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” (#5: 0.5/ 1).

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.
NOTE: We will open up the ratings post early so that people can chat/disqus whilst we wait for the HH, T25 Numbers and then the Early Overnight numbers as usual.
