CW Weekly Ratings: May 23 - 27, 2016

The CW had a relatively solid week, despite 40% of its schedule airing encore programming.  The season finales of THE FLASH, ARROW and SUPERNATURAL lead the way to a solid performance. The encores of MASTER OF ILLUSION and PENN & TELLER: FOOL US, on Friday night, did much better than what the two vampire series do in the regular season, with fresh episodes.

The season premiere of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? was relatively soft, with 1.4 million viewers and a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-49, but it should perk up once viewers are aware of its return.

For the final week of the 2015-16 regular season, the CW averaged 1.54 million viewers, a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-34, a 0.5 rating in Adults 18-49 and a 0.6 rating in Adults 25-54.
