Friday 4/23/21 Preliminary Primetime Ratings 

Total Viewers:
NBC: 3.48 million, CBS: 3.29, ABC: 2.73, Fox: 2.04, CW: 866,000

Adults 18-49:
Fox: 0.5 rating/4 share, NBC: 0.5/ 3, ABC: 0.4/ 3, CBS: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

NBC’s victory in total viewers on this fourth Friday in April (based on the fast affiliate ratings) was a result of CBS being in all repeats. NBC’s already renewed “The Blacklist” opened the night with 3.33 million viewers (#2) and a 0.4 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 (#3). And that led into 3.55 million viewers (#1) and a 0.5/ 4 in the demo (#1t) for “Dateline” from 9-11 p.m. Last night, “Dateline” had the advantage over competing “20/20” on ABC (Viewers: #4, 2.14 million; A18-49: #3, 0.4/ 3). 

Tops for the evening in adults 18-49 was ABC’s “Shark Tank”, with a 0.6/ 4 in the demo from 8-9 p.m. (and 3.43 million viewers).

Elsewhere, “WWE Friday Night Smackdown” on Fox has never been the success the network had hoped for. See the above network averages. And The CW featured encore telecasts of Friday night time period filler “Whose Line is it Anyway?” and “Penn & Teller: Fool Us.”
