Preliminary Ratings: Wednesday 11/19/14

A week after NBC's big three way cross over event, involving LAW & ORDER: SVU, CHICAGO PD and Tuesday's CHICAGO FIRES, the ratings cooled off a bit. For the night, NBC is down 2.1 million viewers and off the demo rating by 33%, going from first place to third place. CHICAGO PD was the top program at 10 p.m., last week, but loses to STALKER this week. It lost six tenths of a ratings point, week-to-week.

CBS was up from last week's numbers, with all three programs seeing growth in one, or both, categories. STALKER was the strongest gainer, as the series rose 21% in the A18-49 ratings, from last week's number, and viewership increased by one million viewers.

ABC also saw gains this week, posting the top demographic average for the night, with a 2.3 rating. all five series rose in the demo, with MODERN FAMILY seeing the biggest gain, with a half a point jump.

Not much to say about FOX, as it is more of an after thought on the night, than a real competitor.
