Preliminary Ratings: Wednesday 05/30/2018

With the summer season premiere of MASTERCHEF, FOX rolls to a Wednesday night victory. The two hour event averaged 3.6 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49. Compared to last summer's premiere, MASTERCHEF lost 200,000 in total viewers and two-tenths of a point in the A18-49 demo.

NBC was on the heels of FOX, in the demos, and produced the top program of the night, with the season premiere of AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR. The competition series posted the best numbers in the demos, including a 0.8 rating in Adults 18-49. But, the series premiere of REVERIE sunk the night average below that of FOX. The new drama did no better than the ABC comedies, in the 10 PM hour.

CBS was the most watched network, with back-to-back episodes of CODE BLACK leading the way. Over the two hours, CODE BLACK averaged 6.3 million viewers and a 0.7 demographic rating in Adults 18-49. It won the 10 PM hour over weaker competition.

ABC ran nothing but encore comedies, placing it fourth on the night.
