Wednesday Final Nationals: 'Survivor Kaoh Rong' on CBS Tops Night's Telecasts in Same-Day Viewers

CBS and Fox split Wednesday night victory. CBS topped in total viewers (8.38 million), Fox topped in all key demos: adults 18-49 (2.4 rating/9 share), adults 18-34 (2.1/9), and adults 25-54 (2.8/8).

For the first time this season, when “Empire” aired on the same night, the long-running CBS reality competition “Survivor Kaoh Rong” bested the Fox serial drama to become TV’s most-watched telecast of Wednesday night, according to live plus same day viewers (“Empire” will most likely be tops on the night, though, when time-shifted audience figures are factored in the coming week).

Let me start by saying: I LOVE the cable chart. I like how it’s only primetime because that’s generally where most of the higher-rated programming is.
———
On a separate note, do you have ‘Autopsy’ & ‘Stalkers Who Kill’ (Reelz)? They probably didn’t bring in that many viewers. Thank you.

    Douglas, may you please double check if that 87,000 18-49 viewers for Skin Wars is a typo? It does not line up with another figure we saw.

      Yes, it was a typo. 187k is the correct number.
