Final Broadcast Ratings: January 23, 2015

It was a tight battle in the Friday night ratings, as ABC, CBS and NBC all tied in the A18-49 ratings. But, when you consider that only NBC aired three hours of originals, while ABC and CBS has two hours of encores, NBC's tie is rather anti-climatic.

Each of the three networks won an hour each. CBS was top at 8 p.m., ABC and SHARK TANK was king at 9 p.m., and DATELINE was #1 at 10 p.m.

FOX's new series WORLD'S FUNNIES FAILS held up relatively well, remaining flat from last week. If the series can score similar numbers in the next few week's, I would not be surprised it being renewed beyond this initial run.
