Final Broadcast Ratings: March 4, 2015
The original series may be dead, but it looks like CSI franchise will live on. The series premiere of CSI: CYBER had a good showing on Wednesday night, drawing 10.5 million viewers and a 1.8 rating in Adults 18-49. It grew in total viewers and kept 95% of the demo, from its CRIMINAL MINDS lead in. This is the most viewers the 10 p.m. slot has hauled in all season, and is the best A18-49 rating, by a series, since the series premiere of STALKER.EMPIRE continues to grow and dominate. The series ran over the 14 million viewer mark, for the first time in series history and grew another 9% in the demo. With the season finale just a few weeks away, it would not surprise me if EMPIRE draws over 20 million and a 6.5+ in the demo, for that last episode.
ABC was a consistent #3 network on the night, with all four comedies doing good numbers in the ratings. THE MIDDLE and BLACK-ISH were up, week-to-week, while MODERN FAMILY and THE GOLDBERGS were flat.
You know NBC's regular schedule is bad when a clips episode of THE VOICE pulls one of the better A18-49 ratings for the season, on a Wednesday night.
