Final Broadcast Ratings: July 14, 2016

CBS swept the Thursday night ratings, with its combination of Comedy encores and a Thursday edition of BIG BROTHER. The reality series was the op show in the three demographic categories, posting a 1.9 in Adults 18-49 and a 2.4 in the 25-54 demo. An encore of THE BIG BANG THEORY was the night's most watched show, drawing 7.2 million viewers.

ABC only had two hours of primetime counted as the 8 PM hour had the commercial free, THE PRESIDENT & THE PEOPLE news special. With that, ABC took control of second place, edging past the other two big networks.

NBC and FOX all battled it out for third place, with FOX getting the slight edge in total viewership. NBC placed 4th in two of the three hours, with AQUARIUS posting the night's worst numbers, from the Big 4 networks. FOX's HOME FREE was 4th in the 9 PM hour, losing half of the total audience, from its BIONES lead in.
