Final Broadcast Ratings: April 22, 2015

CBS and ABC battled it out for Wednesday night supremacy, in the ratings. CBS swept the night, but ABC was just one tenth of a point behind, in both the A18-49 and A25-54 demographics.

SURVIVOR was the most watched show fo the night, with 10.2 million viewers. it was also #2, overall, in the A18-49 ratings, behind MODERN FAMILY. CRIMINAL MINDS was down 350,000 viewers, from last week, and off by 10% in the A18-49 demo. But, MODERN FAMILY was back with its first original episode in three weeks.

ABC was up, as a network, by 900,000 viewers and 11% in the demo, from last week's average. The only difference is a new episode of MODERN FAMILY. All three surrounding comedies were up, over last week, with the anchor being in new episodes. MF was the top show in the two younger demographic categories.

FOX was a solid third place, with AMERICAN IDOL seeing its first week to week rise in close to a month. The numbers are not very good, but it is the best the network has to offer this spring.

The CW tied NBC in the A18-49 ratings, and was just short of a tie in the A25-54 demographic. NBC was preempted in the San Francisco Market, for baseball.
