After three days of delayed viewing, ABC’s “9-1-1” was the most-watched program on television, beating out CBS Sports coverage of NCAA Basketball. While sports dominated in the key sales demographics, topping the list in every category, “Grey’s Anatomy” tied in for #1 in Women 18-49 with the 20-minute bridge between games on CBS, each with a 1.04 rating in key women.
The CW aired a second episode of “Son of the Critch” this week, improving or tying its first half-hour in most demo categories. Meanwhile, “Next Level Chef” is doing well for FOX. The same could not be said for “TMZ Investigates.”
