CBS set the bar for ratings on Wednesday, and crowned the night with a new episode of Big Brother: All Stars, which climbed one-tenth from last week to a 1.1 rating in the adult 18-49 demographic and 4.24 million viewers. The reality series matched season-best numbers in the demo. Tough As Nails (0.5, 2.90M) also climbed a tenth from last week, while broadcasters saw a rise in early numbers for Night 3 of the Republican National Convention (0.3, 1.64M).
Elsewhere, the RNC held firm in the demos at NBC (0.3, 1.72M) and ABC (0.3, 1.51M). Both, however, took a hit in sight. The figures for all three broadcasters are expected to be adjusted in the final.
ABC’s season finale of United We fall (0.5, 3.14M) was on par with last week. Compared to the season premiere in July, which earned a 0.6 in the demo and 4.23 million viewers, the New Year’s sitcom made it fairly stable over the summer. The network also sent out reruns of their family-friendly sitcom block The Goldbergs, The Conners en American housewife.
In addition to the RNC and a repeat of Ellen’s Game of Games, NBC’s America’s Got Talent (0.6, 4.95M) result show was steady.
Things were pretty quiet at the CW with the special Women in the Movie: Make It Work (0.1, 389,000) and Coroner (0.1, 585K), both of which were steady while Fox boiled over MasterChef repetitions.
