Preliminary Ratings: Wednesday 02/01/2017

CBS sweeps the Wednesday night ratings topping all-encore nights by ABC and NBC and a usually weak FOX. HUNTED, leading off the night, remained steady from last week's two hour episode, posting a 1.3 rating in Adults 18-49, tops in the 8 PM hour. CRIMINAL MINDS returned after two weeks off, holding 100% of its lead in A18-49 demo rating and growing total viewership by nearly two million. CODE BLACK closed out the night winning the the 10 PM time slot.

Almost by default, FOX came in second, but only barely edged out ABC and NBC. STAR kept FOX up as it posted the top number in the A18-34 demographic and tied for the top number in the A18-49 demo.

The CW premiered the fourth season of THE 100, to mixed results. Retention out of ARROW was just 6% in total viewership and lost two tenths of a point in the two younger demo categories. Year-to-year, THE 100 premiere was down 600,000 viewers and 43% in the A18-49 demo.
