Fast Affiliate Data (time period based)

Total Viewers: 
NBC: 5.95 million, CBS: 3.11, Fox: 2.78, ABC: 2.18, CW: 520,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.7 rating/6 share, Fox: 0.5/ 4, CBS: 0.4/ 4, ABC: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

In series premiere news, CBS reality/competition series “Beyond the Edge” was left at the starting gate, with 2.52 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 at 9 p.m. ET. Comparably, that dropped from lead-in “Survivor” (Viewers: #2, 4.84 million; A18-49: #1 for the night: 0.8/ 6 at 8 p.m.) by a hefty 2.32 million viewers and 40 percent in the demo. The Eye capped off the night with a repeat of “FBI.” Question for CBS: Was this “Survivor” wannabe really necessary?

Elsewhere, NBC topped the evening as always with the “Chicago” trio: “Chicago Med” (Viewers: #1, 6.12 million; A18-49: #2, 0.6/ 5 at 8 p.m.), “Chicago Fire” (Viewers: #1 for the night: 6.46 million; A18-49: #1, 0.7/ 6 at 9 p.m.), and “Chicago PD” (Viewers: #1: 5.26 million; A18-49: #1, 0.7/ 6 at 10 p.m.).

Recent non-scripted Fox entry “Domino Masters” (Viewers: #4, 1.71 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3 at 9 p.m.) continues to lose considerable stream out of already diluted “The Masked Singer” (Viewers: #4, 1.71 million; A18-49: #2, 0.4/ 3 at 8 p.m.).

The once promising “Kung Fu” reboot on The CW (Viewers: #5, 443,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.) continues to underwhelm. Ditto for fading lead-in “The Flash” (Viewers: #5, 597,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.). And ABC is in need of a complete revamp on Wednesday. Here are the lackluster fast affiliate results from last night:

ABC/Wednesday
8:00 p.m. “The Goldbergs”
Viewers: 2.72 million (#4); A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#4)

8:30 p.m. “The Wonder Years”

10:00 p.m. “A Million Little Things”
