CHICAGO MED checked in for what should be a lengthy stay.
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.
NBC: With a 2.6 lead-in from THE VOICE (down 0.1 from last week), CHICAGO MED had a solid start at 2.2, the strongest show in its hour by a considerable margin. However, it still gave CHICAGO FIRE a lower lead-in than THE VOICE had provided last week, and FIRE was down 0.1 to 1.9.
CBS: NCIS fell 0.2 to 2.1, and both NCIS: NEW ORLEANS and LIMITLESS were down 0.1 respectively to 1.6 and 1.4.
ABC: THE MUPPETS stayed at 1.2, but FRESH OFF THE BOAT rose 0.1 to 1.4. AGENTS OF SHIELD held at 1.3. With WICKED CITY gone, a SHARK TANK rerun filled the 10PM slot at 0.7.
FOX: The night’s shows remained closely bunched, with GRANDFATHERED steady at 1.0, THE GRINDER up 0.1 to 0.9, and SCREAM QUEENS holding at 0.9.
CW: THE FLASH slowed down by 0.2 to 1.3, and IZOMBIE lost 0.1 to 0.5.
The networks are all new tonight with their regular series.
