Preliminary Ratings: Thursday 09/14/2017

With BIG BROTHER leading the way, CBS sweeps the Thursday night ratings. The reality series pulled a 1.8 rating in the A18-49 demographic, along with a total of 6.0 million viewers. That is on par with the previous week's numbers.

ABC looked much better with different programming on the night. An encore of CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD perked up the 8 PM hour to one of its best showing of the summer, grabbing five million viewers and a 0.9 demo rating. The special, TRUTH & LIES: THE MURDER OF LACI PETERSON also did well, posting a 1.1 demo rating and won the 10 PM hour.

NBC's all-encore night topped the all-original FOX lineup. FOX was 4th in each hour and only had better numbers than the CW programs and ZOO, on CBS.
