Wednesday Ratings: NBC Wins; CBS’ ‘Survivor’ Solid; Fox’s ‘The Masked Singer’ Sinks to a Creative Low

WEDNESDAY FAST AFFILIATES

Wednesday, April 20, 2022

Total Viewers:
NBC: 6.49 million, CBS: 2.99, Fox: 2.58, ABC: 1.93, CW: 895,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.7 rating/6 share, Fox: 0.4/ 4, CBS: 0.4/ 3, ABC: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

It was an easy Wednesday victory for NBC care of the “Chicago” trio: “Chicago Med” (Viewers: 31, 6.46 million; A18-49: #1, 0.6 rating/5 share at 8 p.m.), “Chicago Fire” (Viewers: #1 for the night, 7.05 million; A18-49: #1, 0.7/ 6 at 9 p.m.) and “Chicago PD” (Viewers: #1, 5.97 million; A18-49: #1, 0.7/ 6 at 10 p.m.). But it was not a clean sweep care of CBS’ veteran “Survivor”, which led the evening in adults 18-49 with a 0.8/ 7 in the demo (and 5.17 million – #2).

Unfortunately, recent “Survivor”-like “Beyond the Edge” sunk a series low 2.17 million viewers and a 0.3/ 2 in adults 18-49 in 9 p.m. And that led into recent medical drama “Good Sam” at just 1.64 million viewers (#3) and a 0.2/ 2 in the demo (#3) at 10 p.m. chances of a second season for “Good Sam” are nil.

In the specials department was “Freddie Mercury: The Final Act”, which lifted the network to an above average Wednesday. See network averages above.

On Fox, “The Masked Singer” (which aired the now infamous episode featuring former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani), remained a shell of what it once was at 3.59 million viewers (#3) and a 0.6/ 5 (#2t) in adults 18-49. Bravo to Ken Jeung and Robin Thicke. And that led into sophomore Domino Masters” at a diluted 1.58 million viewers (#4) and a 0.3/ 2 in the demo (#2t) at 9 p.m.

ABC, meanwhile, remained out of the competitive loop with its struggling two-hour comedy block (which included a repeat of “The Conners”) and drama “A Million LIttle Things.” Take a look:

ABC/Wednesday
8:00 p.m. – “The Goldbergs”
Viewers: 2.82 million (#4); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#3t)

8:30 p.m. – “The Wonder Years”
Viewers: 1.78 million (#4); A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#4)

9:00 p.m. – “The Conners” (R)
Viewers: 1.83 million (#3); A18-49: 0.2/ 2 (#4)

9:30 p.m. – “Home Economics”
Viewers: 1.63 million (#4); A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#2)

10:00 p.m. – “A Million Little Things”
Viewers: 1.74 million (#2); A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#2)
