Broadcast Final Ratings: May 1, 2014

NBC produced decent numbers Thursday night.. Yea, I know! NBC??!!... Anyway, they did well without any of their regular series. Instead they aired the iHeart Music Awards and placed 2nd on the night, in the A18-49 ratings. NBC... Scrap your entire Thursday night line up for something new. Viewers will tune in, if it is good!

ABC is now just an average network without a decent lead in at 8 p.m. and SCANDAL gone at 10 p.m. BLACK BOX does not look to be the next SCANDAL as 15% was lost in the A18-49 ratings, from last week.

CBS swept the evening, posting the three most watched shows of the night, and three of the only four programs to post a demo rating of a 2.0, or better.

ABC - 6.2 million viewers, 1.6 rating in A18-49
