    Ratings Breakdown:
    Absence did not have a negative impact on Fox’s “Empire,” which returned from its three-month hiatus with a stellar 8.3 rating/13 share in the household overnights from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that was five percent above the 7.9/12 for its winter season finale (on Dec. 2, 2015), and that translated into 11.81 million viewers and a 4.5 rating in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data.

    “Empire” lead-in “Rosewood” benefited by the pre tune-in factor, with a second-place 4.1/ 7 from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was 52 percent above the 2.7/ 5 one week earlier, and overnight growth in the second half-hour was eight percent (3.9/ 6 to 4.2/ 7).

    In the recently introduced series department, NBC medical drama “Heartbeat” slipped by just one-tenth of a rating point from its time period premiere last week at a 3.3/ 5 in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m. But a 3.4 in the overnights last week translated into only 5.16 million viewers and a 0.9 rating/3 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data. Former time period occupant “The Mysteries of Laura” is a stronger option.

    “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” on CBS, meanwhile, dropped to a 4.5/ 8 at 10 p.m., which was a 12 percent decrease from the 5.1/ 9 last week. And that 5.1 overnight household rating translated into 7.75 million viewers and a 1.5/ 5 in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data.

    Comparably, retention for “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” out of parent “Criminal Minds” (#2: 5.6/ 9 from 9-10 p.m.) was respectable at 80 percent and it trailed competing “Chicago PD” on NBC (#1: 4.7/ 8) by only four percent. ABC’s “Nashville” finished a distant third at 10 p.m. with a 2.8/ 5.

    Earlier in the evening on CBS was the always reliable “Survivor” at a dominant 5.7/ 9 from 8-9 p.m., which was equal to one week earlier. And veteran “Law & Order: SVU” on NBC scored a 4.3/ 7 at 9 p.m., which built from aforementioned lead-in “Heartbeat” by 30 percent.

    Elsewhere, ABC aired repeats of sitcoms “The Middle” (#3: 3.7/ 6), “The Goldbergs” (#4: 3.1/ 5), “Modern Family” (#4: 3.3/ 5) and “black-ish” (#4: 2.5/ 4) from 8-10 p.m. And The CW featured a typical 1.6/ 3 from “Arrow” at 8 p.m. (#5) into a 1.0/2 for “Supernautral” (#5) at 9 p.m., which will be heading into season 12 in 2016-17.

  • About the Daily Ratings
    Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.

    The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).

    Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.

    Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).

    Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

    If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent
    Ratings FAQ.
