Preliminary Ratings: July 25, 2018

FOX wins the Wednesday night ratings, posting the top numbers in all three demographic categories. MASTERCHEF tied WORLD OF DANCE for second in the 8 PM hour, while 24 HOURS TO HELL AND BACK lost just 10% for second in the 9 PM hour.

CBS and NBC battled it out for second, tying in two demo age groups and then splitting the other and total viewers. BIG BROTHER was the #1 show of the night and strong enough to offset the lower numbers for the rest of the night, on CBS. NBC's two hours of WORLD OF DANCE did well without AGT as a lead in, posing a 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49.

ABC was a distant 4th on the night, with an all-encore line up. SHARK TANK did push REVERIE, on NBC, down to last in the 10 PM hour.

The premiere of the new series, BURDEN OF PROOF  posted typical CW numbers, with under one million viewers and a 0.2 rating in Adults 18-49.
