Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 11/10/15

CBS was the most watched network, but NBC dominated the younger demographics, in the Tuesday night ratings. CBS had three of the top five most watched shows of the evening, with both NCIS series hauling in the most. The mothership, NCIS, scored 16.4 million viewers, while NCIS: NEW ORLEANS took in 12.3 million. Both numbers are down from last week by more than a million viewers each. CBS's nightly average took a hit of 1.3 million less viewers.

NBC benefited from THE VOICE back in an original episode and no BEST TIME EVER to drag the average down, like last week. THE VOICE took in 10.8 million viewers, up from two weeks ago, and socred a 2.8 rating in Adults 18-49, down 10% from the last Tuesday original. CHICAGO FIRE was up 10" in the A18-49 demo, from last week's episode.

The CW was the #3 network on the night, beating ABC and FOX in the A18-34 and 18-49 demographic ratings, and was right between the two networks in the A25-54 demo. THE FLASH beat everything on ABC and FOX and tied LIMITLESS in the A18-49 demo.

ABC 's ratings seem to get worse and worse as each Tuesday night passes. Neither comedy is doing well and AGENTS OF SHIELD shows no signs of improving, now in its third season. Then there is WICKED CITY, which should be the lowest rated original program of the week, from the Big 4, and half of the CW offerings. I could see ABC pulling the series for encores, next week.
