Ratings Review: BATTLE CREEK (Season One)

BATTLE CREEK looked more like one of those "buddy" dramas that the USA Network has been so good at producing, but for a CBS audience, it was not good enough. From the start, the series was ratings challenged, and it only got worse from there.

The Live+SD ratings averaged 6.12 million viewers and a 0.7 rating in Adults 18-49, for the 13 episode season. The total rose to 8.32 million viewers (+36%) and a 1.2 demo rating (+71%), in the Live+7 ratings, indicating a relatively mediocre DVR draw.
