Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 04/15/14

Even though we are just 6 short week until the end of the 2013-14 season, ABC gave us the season premiere of CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP. ABC did the best it could to give the veteran series a good lead in (AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.), but the ratings were not good. Just 3.1 million viewers tuned in at 10 p.m. and the show was a distant 3rd in the hour. Compared to the 2013 season premiere of the show, it is down nearly 50% in total viewers and 58% in the A18-49 ratings. Hopefully this is the last season we must suffer though of the series.

CBS nearly won the night in both categories, but the NCISes posted lower than usual A18-49 ratings, letting NBC edged CBS for the top of the category.

FOX was 4th through the night, but the CW was a little to close to the number of FOX to be comfortable with. FOX was just 30% above the CW, in the demo numbers and only 700k separated the two networks in total viewers.
