Preliminary Ratings: Wednesday 03/11/15

Of the 13 hours of programming the five major networks air on Wednesday night, seven were encores. Only FOX and CBS were all-original, and they finished in first and second, respectively.

The the top show of the night is the red-hot drama, EMPIRE. It is practically flat, from last week's series best numbers, getting another 14.7 million viewers and a 5.7 demo rating. It grew 56%, in viewers, out of AMERICAN IDOL. And, it added another 3.4 points in the A18-49 demographic.

CBS remained a solid second place, with the new series, CSI: CYBER, keeping 100% of its A18-49 ratings, from last week's series premiere. But, viewership did drop about 800,000. CBS has a better Wednesday night line up with these three shows, than they did in the fall.

The CW had the last original program, as THE 100 ended its season season. Just 1.3 million viewers tuned in to watch the finale, but it had a poor lead in, with an encore of ARROW giving support.
