Final Broadcast Ratings: February 23, 2017

NBC's THE BLACKLIST closed out its winter run on a soft not, drawing just 5.0 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in Adults 18-49, at a special 9 PM airing. That was a distant third place in the hour, just edging out MY KITCHEN RULES, on FOX. Following it at 10 PM, was the new spin-off series, THE BLACKLIST: REDEMPTION. It only lost a tenth of a point in each of the demos and just 15% in total viewership. It was a soft launch for the new series, but given what it had as a lead in audience, it performed relatively well.

THE BIG BANG THEORY was the #1 show of the night, attracting 13.4 million viewers and a 2.8 rating in Adults 18-49. Ratings for the hit comedy have been sliding the last few weeks, indicating the annual slide in ratings for all shows, as spring approaches. GREY'S ANATOMY was the #2 program of the night and like BIG BANG, it was down week-to-week.

Somehow, TRAINING DAY is still on the air it was last in its time period and drew the lowest ratings in the two younger demographic categories and the second lowest in the A25-54 demo. After four weeks, TRAINING DAY is averaging just 4.2 million viewers a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-34 and a 0.8 rating in Adults 18-49.
