A solid return for ARROW.
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.
FOX: After 2.4 for AMERICAN IDOL (down 0.1 from last Wednesday), SECOND CHANCE slid 0.2 to a dire 1.0.
CW: ARROW returned at 1.1, a 0.1 bump from the fall finale, and SUPERNATURAL’s 0.7 was steady with its last airing.
CBS: 2 BROKE GIRLS (1.7), MIKE & MOLLY (1.6) and CRIMINAL MINDS (2.0) all held at last week’s numbers, but CODE BLACK had a 0.2 bump to 1.4 that put it within a tenth of the 10PM lead.
NBC: Everything remained at last week’s numbers: MYSTERIES OF LAURA at 1.2, SVU at 1.7, and CHICAGO PD at 1.5.
ABC: THE MIDDLE lost 0.1 to 1.8, while THE GOLDBERGS stayed at 2.0. The network stuck a rerun MODERN FAMILY in the line-up at 9PM, which slightly hurt BLACK-ISH, down 0.2 to 1.7. AMERICAN CRIME edged down 0.1 to 1.0.
Tonight is a big one for CW, which launches LEGENDS OF TOMORROW after an entire fall of preparation, followed by the season premiere of THE 100. Cable features the bow of FX’s BASKETS and BBCAmerica’s LONDON SPY.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
