Final Broadcast Ratings: April 4, 2018

FOX takes Wednesday night, with a weaker, yet still dominate EMPIRE and STAR. The two dramas won their respective hours in the younger demographic ratings. However, both shows are down from last weeks spring premieres, roughly 15%.

CBS edged out ABC for second place, even with an encore episode of NCIS, in place of SEAL TEAM, at 9 PM. SURVIVOR was down a tenth of a point in the A18-49 demo, while CRIMINAL MINDS was off by 700k in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

Week two of the new ABC sitcom, ALEX, INC. dropped about 20%, week-to-week, and was the weakest of the four ABC comedies.

NBC was fourth, with only THE BLACKLIST in an original episode.
