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'

5 Comments

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).
