Final Broadcast Ratings: October 1, 2014

Just two series had their 2014 fall premieres, both on CBS. CRIMINAL MINDS and new series STALKER helped lead CBS to a sweep of the night, winning every hour in viewership and five of the six half hours, in the A18-49 ratings.

Leading the night in viewership was the 10th season premiere of CRIMINAL MINDS. The series collected 11.7 million viewers and a respectable 2.7 rating in Adults 18-49. Compared to the 2013 premiere, CRIMINAL MINDS is up slightly in viewership and down a tenth of a point in the A18-49 ratings.

At 10 p.m., new crime drama STALKER, won it's time slot, drawing 9.1 million viewers and a 2.0 demo rating. That is nearly identical to the numbers CSI collected last year in the same time slot, for its season premiere.
