Preliminary Ratings: Thursday 11/09/2017

NBC tops the Thursday night Ratings, but posts a season low for a Thursday Night Football game, on Thursday night. The Seahawks vs Arizona match up drew just 8.8 million viewers and a 2.5 rating in Adults 18-49. That is 2.6 million viewers less than the last CBS TNF game and nearly a full point lower in the A18-49 demo.

CBS took second place on the night and was the most watched network. CBS needs to be concerned with new action drama, S.W.A.T. as it dropped 17% in the A18-49 demo, from LIFE IN PIECES lead in, and tied HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER for the second lowest A18-34 demographic rating, topping only ARROW from The CW.

ABC was third with a relatively consistent Thursday night performance from its three dramas, but audience levels drop  55% in viewership and 53% in the demo, from 8 PM to 11 PM.

FOX sci-fi series, THE ORVILE grew from its GOTHAM lead in by 37% in viewers and 11% in the A18-49 demo.
