After seven days of delayed viewership, ABC’s launch of “9-1-1” remains the network’s most-watched show among Total Viewers on Thursday nights, topping its lead outs “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Station 19.” However, in most key sales demographics, “Grey’s Anatomy” came out on top with the exception of Men 18-49 rating, where the FOX transplant firefighter series excelled above all the other broadcast shows airing that night.
“Law & Order: SVU” proved why it got renewed for a 26th season, ranking among the Top 5 highest-rated and most-watched shows on Thursday, March 14, 2024. In fact, the veteran series added the most viewers compared with its Live+3 performance, adding +404,000 viewers in Live+7. The show also added the most Adults 18-49 Viewers, with +96,000 gained from Live+3 to Live+7, and the biggest gain among Adults 18-49 rating, adding +0.08.
Oddly, an “Elsbeth” encore fell in every category compared to its initially reported Live+3 performance based on newly released Live+7 data, likely due to revisions and/or errors.
