CW Weekly Ratings: April 18-22, 2016

The ratings were slightly up, week-to-week, for the CW, as 70% of the schedule was in original episodes. The season finale of CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND closed on a typical, but soft note, drawing just 820,000 viewers. Through its first season, the series only managed one million viewers just a hand full of times.

On a more positive note, the series premiere of CONTAINMENT got off to a relatively good start, bringing in 1.7 million viewers. But, that is only a little more than half the audience its lead in brought in and the A18-49 demographic ratings was a sever drop of nearly 60%. CONTAINMENT was the #3 program of the week, for The CW.

For the week, The CW averaged 1.31 million viewers, a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-34, a 0.5 rating in Adults 18-49 , and a 0.6 rating in Adults 25-54. The numbers should start to rise as shows approach their season finales.
