Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 11/11/14

CBS and NBC split leadership on Tuesday night, with NBC and a two hour THE VOICE grabbed the demo crown, while the return of CBS' crime drama lineup haul in the most viewers. FOX takes third, while ABC ties the CW in the A18-49 ratings.

Since it is sweeps month, NBC added an hour to the Tuesday night edition of THE VOICE and was rewarded for it, grabbing a 3.0 demo rating, over the first two hours of primetime. That is up 30% from last Tuesday's one hour show. Viewership was also up by 1.5 million viewers.

CHICAGO FIRE posted its best numbers since week two of the season as a three series cross-over event with LAW & ORDER: SVU and CHICAGO PD was kicked of by the series. CHICAGO FIRE is up 35% in the demo ratings and nearly two million total viewers, over its last original episode, two weeks ago.

CBS drew large audiences for its two NCIS series, pushing the network as the most watched on the night. CBS was also #2 in the A18-49 demographic, placing 2nd in each hour. PERSON OF INTEREST is not holding LIVE viewers at 10 p.m., but as we see in the early L+7 ratings, viewers are waiting a few days before watching the latest episode of the series, rising nearly 4 million viewers, after the initial airing.

FOX is now in much better shape with MASTERCHEF JUNIOR leading off the night. It is posting solid A18-49 numbers, twice that of former occupant UTOPIA. However, NEW GIRL did not capitalize on it this week, dropping 28% in the demo rating, from its new lead in.

ABC tried placing a repeat of MODERN FAMILY at 8:30 p.m. to try and help AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., but it did not do any better than an original SELFIE. Week-to-week, the 8:30 slot dropped 300k in total viewers, and was flat in the A18-49 ratings. Both SHIELD and FOREVER were down, from their previous original outings, two week earlier.
