Wednesday Final Nationals: ‘Arrow’ on CW Shoots to Two-Year High as Part of ‘Heroes vs. Aliens’ Crossover

Dolly Parton Strikes Ratings Gold Again with NBC's 'Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love'

Fox again led all of Wednesday night’s key demos but thanks to holiday specials, NBC led this prime time in total viewers with an average of 11.22 million. A rainy night in New York City didn’t dampen the “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” special (10.5 million) which, in viewership, was up 30 percent from 12/02/15 (8.071 million) and up 10 percent from 12/03/14 (9.516 million).

Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love” (11.58 million), the sequel to the hit holiday TV film of 2015 “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors,” was the night’s most-watched telecast and projects to be this holiday season’s top special.

The CW’s “Arrow” (3.55 million viewers) continued the success of the four-part, four-night ‘Heroes vs. Aliens’ crossover, following ‘Supergirl’ on Nov. 28 and ‘The Flash’ on Nov. 29, delivering its best live-plus-same day telecast in total audience since Dec. 3, 2014 (3.92 million).
