Preliminary Ratings: Thursday 04/13/2017

CBS takes the Thursday night ratings crown, posting the top numbers in three of the four measured categories. Only ABC's 0.8 rating in Adults 18-49 prevented CBS from a sweep on the night. CBS won two of the three primetime hours, with SCANDAL edging out the 9 PM comedies, in the middle time slot.

ABC's Thursday line up is still taking a hit, after GREY'S ANATOMY. SCANDAL is on the down turn in popularity and THE CATCH is no catch for ABC.

NBC just edges out FOX for third place, as the network finished fourth in the 8 PM hour and third in the 9 and 10 PM hours. The season/series finale of THE BLACKLIST: REDEMPTION did nothing to help its cause for a second season renewal, finishing last at 10 PM.

Not much to say about FOX Thursday nights, other than MASTERCHEF JR. didn't lose to the NBC comedies.
