Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 03/13/2018

Led by the season finale of THIS IS US, NBC tops the Tuesday night ratings, sweeping the three demographic categories and attracting the second most viewers on the night. THIS IS US (#1) posted a 2.7 rating in Adults 18-49, with 10.8 million viewers. That is on par with last year's finale. The Voice lead the night off for NBC, with 11 million viewers and a solid 2.2 demographic rating. Closing the night, was the premiere of the new musical drama, RISE, winning the 10 PM hour, but dropping half the audience that THIS IS US delivered.

CBS was the #2 network, drawing the most viewers on the night and the second best demo ratings. The network had three of the five most watched shows and placed second in each hour, in the key demos.

ABC edged out FOX and The CW, with lackluster numbers for most of the night. New drama, FOR THE PEOPLE, was last in the 10 PM hour, but better than last week's KEVIN/SAVES THE WORLD finale.

The CW edged out FOX for fourth on the night, as LETHAL WEAPON was an encore episode.
