Preliminary Ratings: Wednesday 05/27/15

FOX and CBS split the Wednesday night ratings, with CBS grabbing the most viewers. FOX edging CBS for the A18-49 win, and both networks tying in the A25-54 demographic. ABC was a close third place, while NBC was back in 4th place.

The top programs of the night were, surprisingly, THE BRIEFCASE, grabbing the most viewers on the night, with 6.8 million tuning into the series premiere. The reality series, which looked like THE WILL 2, was second in the demo ratings. MASTERCHEF was the top show in both demographic ratings, posting a 1.5 score. That is up 25% over last week's A18-49 rating.

The series premiere of BULLSEYE, on FOX, opened to less than stellar numbers, finishing 4th in the 9 p.m. hour, in total viewers, third in the A18-49 demo and second in the A25-54 demo.

500 questions saw losses, week-to-week, while CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP experienced slight gains.
