Preliminary Ratings: Monday 11/10/14

THE BLACKLIST fall finale was the #1 show at 10 p.m., drawing 9.7 million viewers and a 2.5 rating in Adults 18-49. It out paced NCIS:LA by a full ratings point,  in the demo, and CASTLE by seven tenths of a point. The hit drama is giving up its Monday night time slot for the new drama STATE OF AFFAIRS. THE BLACKLIST will return February 1, 2015, on its new night, Thursdays at 10 p.m.

THE VOICE was the night's #1 program, grabbing a 3.2 demo rating and 11.4 million viewers. It is down 700k in viewers, from last week, and dropped another two tenths in the A18-49 ratings. But, the series is still strong enough to beat the #2 program in the demo, by a full ratings point.

ABC was the most watched network, thanks to DANCING WITH THE STARS and its 13.4 million viewers. This is the third straight week of increased viewership, from the previous week, and is the most watched episode of the season.

FOX tied ABC in the A18-49 ratings, with a 1.9 average, but with less than half the total viewership. GOTHAM continues to be the #2 show in the 8 p.m. hour, in the A18-49 ratings, but it too lost another two tenths of a ratings point, from last week's numbers.

CBS was a close 4th place, but that is still 4th place. Only SCORPION is getting traction with viewers, but is surrounded by low performing shows and its numbers are suffering because of it. CBS should/needs to address this night before the start of the February sweeps.
