NETWORK FINALS: As we noted on Saturday morning, since all the networks were disrupted by the 9PM presidential address, we’ll look at the Friday ratings more closely today now that we have adjusted finals.
ABC: ONCE UPON A TIME (0.4), AGENTS OF SHIELD (0.5) and 20/20 (0.4) were all down 0.1 from last week.
CBS: MACGYVER (0.8), HAWAII 5-0 (0.9) and BLUE BLOODS (0.8) were all steady.
NBC: TAKEN held at 0.4, and DATELINE was down 0.1 to 0.6.
FOX: MASTERCHEF JR dropped 0.1 to 0.7.
CW: After 0.2 for a PENN & TELLER rerun, JANE THE VIRGIN stayed at 0.2.
Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: It was a huge night for cable news, with 7 of the night’s Top 10 shows, and because the big story was the (relatively) nonnpartisan bombing of Syria, it was led by CNN TONIGHT at 0.65/0.85/2.5M, slightly ahead in the 18-49 demo of Fox News’s THE INGRAHAM ANGLE at 0.54/0.97/4.7M, with MSNBC’s RACHEL MADDOW SHOW behind at 0.36/0.56/3.3M.
