Preliminary Ratings: Friday 03/06/15
ABC gave us the premiere of the new series IN AN INSTANT, which will regularly air on Saturday nights. The series opener didn't do much to keep viewers on ABC as it lost 44% of its lead in, in total viewers, and dropped more than 50% in the A18-49 demographic. IN AN INSTANT may be lucky to get half this audience, come Saturday nights.SHARK TANK was the night's #1 program in the demo ratings, hauling in a 1.9 rating, despite airing an hour earlier. Even with IN AN INSTANT, ABC was a close second place, to CBS, in the nightly demographic average.
CBS was the nights top network, winning both the A18-49 demographic and in total viewers. HAWAII FIVE-O won its hour in total viewers, while BLUE BLOODS won the 10 p.m. hour in both categories.
DATELINE had a a decent showing, winning the 9 p.m. hour in the A18-49 demo and staying solid for a full two hours. But, NBC was still in third place on the night.
