Ratings Review: THE MESSENGERS (Season One)

The series premiere of THE MESSENGERS gave small hope that the network found a scripted program that could fill a spot on Friday nights. but by week number two, those hopes were dashed and not long afterwards, the series was officially told there would not be a second season.

The Live+SD ratings averaged just 780,000 viewers and a 0.2 rating in Adults 18-49. DVR viewing was at a bare minimum, as it may have added 400,000 viewers and two tenths of a ratings point, by the Live+7 ratings reports.
