CBS:  The preliminary 5.6 for the NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP game was down a substantial 1.6 from the early rating for the last CBS airing in 2015.  At the moment, the number is also below the cumulative 5.9 rating that TBS, TNT and Tru had for the 2016 game, but that was a final number, and the CBS rating should adjust up.  The night started with a 2.6 BIG BANG THEORY rerun, although that number will likely adjust down in finals.

NBC:  Against major competition, THE VOICE fell 0.3 to 2.1, and TAKEN was down 0.1 to 0.9.

ABC:  DANCING WITH THE STARS dropped 0.2 to 1.5, and QUANTICO was down 0.1 to 0.6.

FOX:  24: LEGACY lost 0.1 to 0.8, but APB held at 0.6.

CW:  Reruns at 0.3/0.2.

It’s a busy night on the networks tonight.  FOX has the season finale of NEW GIRL and then the premiere of the rebooted PRISON BREAK; CW follows the season finale of LEGENDS OF TOMORROW with the season premiere of IZOMBIE; and ABC airs the timeslot premiere of IMAGINARY MARY.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
