Preliminary Ratings: Monday 02/06/2017

The NEW FOX Monday night did relatively well, averaging 6.2 million viewers and a 1.5 rating in Adults 18-49. That is a 60% viewer increase from last week's winter finales of GOTHAM and LUCIFER. The A18-49 demo rose 30% week-to-week.

24: LEGACY held onto roughly a third of the audience that sampled the premiere, the night before, after the Super Bowl. The action drama was #2 in the time slot, in each of the three demographic ratings. The series premiere of the crime drama, APB, held onto 100% of its lead in and saw slight growth in the A18-34 and A25-54 demos. That is a nice start for the new series.

THE BACHELOR continues to rule the night, posting younger demographic ratings, way above the nearest competition. Its 2.3 rating in the A18-34 demo was 1.4 points better the the 0.9 APB drew. QUANTICO kills all momentum it gets from THE BACHELOR, losing 4.6 million viewers and a drop of 60% in the A18-49 demo.

The CBS comedies push the network to a 3rd place finish on the night. The time slot premiere of the new sitcom, SUPERIOR DONUTS held its lead in audience and grew in the A18-34 demographic. SCORPION had an easy time sweeping the 10 PM hour, beating TIMELESS and QUANTICO.

NBC struggled to top the CW for a 4th place finish, tying it in the A18-34 demographic. The CW was the only competition NBC beat on the night.
