Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 04/18/2017

NBC tops CBS for the win on Tuesday night, sweeping the younger demographic ratings. THE VOICE posted a season low for Tuesday night, with just 1.6 rating in Adults 18-49 and 8.7 million viewers. The last two episode of TRIAL & ERROR were burnt off at 10 PM, where it came in second place, ahead of AGENTS OF SHIELD and behind NCIS: NEW ORLEANS.

CBS was the most watched network, hauling in an average of 11.1 million viewers. it was fourth in the younger, A18-34 demographic, but made up ground in the A18-49 and 25-54 demos. Bright spot on the night was NCIS: NEW ORLEANS holding nearly all the audience from BULL. Something it does not do regularly.

ABC seems to be OK in the 8 PM hour, but the night falls of for the second and third hours of the night. Once again, AGENTS OF SHIELD was the lowest rated original program, from the BIG 4 networks.

PRISON BREAK fell back to reality, after last week's premiere. Week-to-week, the FOX drama lost 700,000 viewers and about 20% in the A18-49 demo.
