No bells for STATION 19, either in alarm (yet) or celebration.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).

Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.

ABC:  After GREY’S ANATOMY gained 0.1 to 1.9, STATION 19 debuted at 1.2, an unexciting start but not a bad number at this point in broadcast TV.  It was fairly steady throughout the 2 hours, dipping from 1.3 to 1.1.

NBC:  The counterprogramming gambit of airing back-to-back CHICAGO FIRE episodes against STATION 19 left the shows at a 1.2 standoff, which for FIRE was steady with its last new episode 2 weeks ago.  The night began with SUPERSTORE up 0.1 to 1.1, and AP BIO down 0.2 to 0.7.

CBS:  The preliminary ratings for CBS’s pair of Sweet 16 NCAA TOURNAMENT games were 2.3/2.5.

FOX:  GOTHAM rose 0.1 to 0.7, and SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO remained at 0.6.

CW:  Reruns at 0.3/0.2.

NCAA TOURNAMENT coverage continues tonight on CBS.  On cable, HBO airs the season finale of HIGH MAINTENANCE.

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