Final Broadcast Ratings: February 9, 2017

ABC and CBS split the Thursday night leadership, with CBS taking total viewership and A25-54 demo crowns, while ABC tops the night in the A18-34 and A18-49 demographics. FOX edges NBC for third place and the CW brings up the rear.

ABC wins two of the three hours in the demographic ratings, with GREY'S ANATOMY coming in second, behind BIG BANG and THE GREAT OUT DOORS. Retention is still a bit of an issue at ABC, as SCANDAL only hold onto 76% of its A18-49 lead in and HTGAWM drops 19% from its demo lead in. Viewership drops 42% over the night.

CBS looks good until the 10 PM hour, when new drama, TRAINING DAY tanks. Week two has the series in last place, in the hour, dropping 40% of its A18-49 lead in from LIFE IN PIECES. Its performance was almost as bad as MY KITCHEN RULES, on FOX, placing it second from the bottom, from the Big 4 networks. CBS needs to act soon on this fast sinking ship.

MASTERCHEF JR. grows from last week's HELL'S KITCHEN finale, adding 15% tot he A18-49 demographic and total viewership, in the time slot. The improved lead in helps MY KITCHEN RULES grow week-to week, by about a tenth of a point in the younger demos.

RIVERDALE appears to be holding its audience, postings near identical ratings to last week's episode.
