Ratings Breakdown:
CBS topped this first Tuesday in April in the household overnights, but it was not a clean sweep. “NCIS” dominated the evening, as always, with a 9.7 rating/16 share at 8 p.m., which led into a first-place 7.6/12 for spin-off “NCIS: New Orleans” at 9 p.m. But freshman drama “Limitless” dipped to second at 10 p.m. with a 3.9/ 6, which was 24 percent below competing “Chicago Fire” on NBC. A distant third in the 10 p.m. hour was ABC’s “Beyond the Tank” at a mere 1.4/ 2 in the overnights. Needless to say, the Tuesday 10 p.m. hour remains a particularly sore spot for ABC.
Earlier in the evening on NBC was an encore telecast of “The Voice” at a 4.4/ 7 at 8 p.m., which tied the competing 90-minute “American Idol” retrospective special on Fox.
The “American Idol” special led into a 1.9/ 3 for a Tuesday 9:30 p.m. edition of sitcom “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (#3t), which slipped by 57 percent. And “Chicago Fire” closed the night for NBC with a dominant 5.1/ 9 at 10 p.m.
Elsewhere, ABC had nothing unusual to report with its combination of sitcoms “Fresh Off the Boat” (#4: 2.9/ 5) and recently introduced “The Real O’Neals” (#4: 2.5/ 4), “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” #4: 2.0/ 3) and aforementioned “Beyond the Tank” (#3: 1.4/ 2). And The CW populated the evening with encore telecasts of “The Flash” (#5: 0.9/ 2) and ‘iZombie” (#5: 0.8/ 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).
