Final Broadcast Ratings: May 7, 2018

NBC takes the Monday night ratings, posting the top numbers in all four reported categories, with THE VOICE leading the way as the #1 show of the night. Following THE VOICE was the season premiere of RUNNIG WILD w/BEAR GRYLLS, which retained about half of its lead in audience.

ABC, CBS and FOX battled it out for second place, with ABC taking the edge in total viewers and tying FOX in the A18-34 and al three nets tie in the A18-49 demos. CBS tied ABC in the older, A25-54 demo. DANCING WITH THE STARS lost about 10% from its premiere, last week, but still topped CBS for 2nd place in the time slot. THE CROSSING was the lowest rated program of the night, from the BIG 4 networks, with just a 0.5 rating in the A18-49 demo.

For CBS it was a 4th place finish in the younger demos, which may prompt most, if not all of the shows on the schedule to be axed come up fronts, in two weeks. KEVIN CAN WAIT has a chance of survival.
