Final Broadcast Ratings: February 17, 2015

The newest ABC series, REPEAT AFTER ME, had a rather lackluster premiere. Following FRESH OFF THE BOAT, the series premiere lost 30% of its total audience lead in and 26% of the demo rating. The 4.3 million viewers dropped ABC from second in the first half hour, to a distant third in the second half hour. Tag REPEAT AFTER ME as a lame duck series, waiting to be axed in May.

CBS was the night's #1 network, winning in both total viewers and in the A18-49 demographic. It was the top network in every hour, with the top three most watched programs and three of the top four shows in the demo. Only FRESH OFF THE BOAT kept the network from a clean sweep. CBS was down 10% in the demo and lost a 700k in viewers, over last week.

FOX rose, week-to-week, with MASTERCHEF JUNIOR tying its season best rating in the A18-49 demo. Also, NEW GIRL and THE MINDY PROJECT rose a tenth of a point, in the demo.

The CW and NBC tied in the demo, with THE FLASH trouncing PARKS & REC, at 8 p.m. SUPERNATURAL tied the other two NBC sitcoms, at 9 p.m. If NBC didn't have CHICAGO FIRE in the mix, it would have been a distant 5th place on the night.
