NETWORK UPDATE:  WORLD SERIES GAME 1, thanks in part to its length which put it in primetime across all time zones, didn’t change at all in final numbers, remaining at 4.6.  Elsewhere, FRESH OFF THE BOAT, THE VOICE, THE FLASH and NCIS each gained 0.1.  Additional note:  WICKED CITY scored particularly badly among Men 18-34, tying (with […]

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Sports led the way […]

  FRIDAY STARZ:  DA VINCI’S DEMONS stayed at an 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demo, and had a very slight increase among older viewers to give it 420K.  With such a serialized storyline, it seems unlikely to move much higher for the remainder of the season. SATURDAY BBCAMERICA:  It’s a shame that ORPHAN BLACK is […]

>CBS moved into first place Wednesday night with a 3.2 rating from 8-11 pm.  Survivor and Criminal Minds matched season lows, while CSI managed a very respectable rating at 10 pm.  However, it was enough to win the night, as viewers’ attention turns to Christmas and other holiday preparation and TV usage begins a rapid […]
