Final Broadcast Ratings: September 26, 2018

CBS snaps NBC's season opening winning streak by taking Wednesday night in the ratings. The combo of the SURVIVOR season premiere and the BIG BROTHER finale, pushed CBS to #1 in three of the four reported categories.

FOX is right on the heels of CBS, tying in the A18-49 demo and winning in the A18-34 demo. EMPIRE is the #1 program in the demographic ratings, while STAR ranks third in the 9 PM hour.

ABC and NBC were neck-and-neck for third. The all-CHICAGO NBC was consistent through the night, with only the 10 PM, CHICAGO PD, slight dropping from the other two series of the franchise. ABC's comedies, from 8 to 10 PM, ranked third in their respective time slots. New drama, A MILLION LITTLE THINGS debuted soft, ranking last in the hour.
