ABC averaged 8.128 million viewers and 964,000 in the Adults 25-54 demo (up 8% and 1% WoW; up 13% total and down 3% demo YoY). NBC averaged 6.16 million viewers and 856,000 in the demo (down 3%/4% WoW; up 12% YoY). CBS averaged 3.765 million viewers and 501,000 in the demo (down 6%/13% WoW; up 1% total and 8% demo YoY).
