Preliminary Ratings: Wednesday 12/27/2017

NBC won a repeat filled Wednesday night, on the backs of a new episode of THE WALL, which drew 5.5 million viewers and a night's best 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49. That led into an encore of CHRISTMAS OF MANY COLORS, which won the 9 to 11 PM time slot.

FOX aired one of the few Bowl games that is not owned by ESPN, to soft numbers. The Foster Farms Bowl collected just 2.8 million viewers and a 0.7 rating in Adults 18-49. It helped FOX take second place in the demos, but it was the least watched network, from the BIG 4.

The CW gave us the E-Sports competition, THE MADDEN NFL 18 CHALLENGE. The one-hour program drew the lowest numbers on the night.
