Ratings: NBC’s ‘Chicago’ Shows Dominate First Post-‘Jeopardy! GOAT’ Primetime
There was a “Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time”-shaped hole in Wednesday’s primetime block — seeing as the event series came to an end Tuesday with Ken Jennings’ victory over James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter — which allowed for NBC and its “Chicago” franchise to dominate the weeknight that was won by ABC and its “GOAT” a week ago.
Returning to its regular block of programming, ABC slipped from being last Wednesday’s No. 1 broadcast network in the key adults 18-49 range to last night’s No. 3.
NBC was first in ratings with a 1.2 rating/6 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 7.8 million, according to preliminary numbers. At 8 p.m., “Chicago Med” scored a 1.2/6 and 8.4 million viewers. “Chicago Fire” at 9 earned a 1.2/6 and 8.1 million viewers. At 10, “Chicago P.D.” closed the night with a 1.1/6 and 6.8 million viewers.
