Wednesday’s Numbers
By fred | May 1, 2008
Fox had a little less viewers than past Wednesdays, but once again they had another hour of American Idol, and so won the night in viewers as well as on the demo. Meanwhile CBS was back after a bunch of reruns last week, with 300 000 less viewers and performing quite less on the demo (down from 3.2 two weeks ago to 2.7 now)
At 8.00 things started slow, the most-watched program of the hour being Deal Or No Deal with 8.0 million viewers. One million less viewers but somehow quite better on the demo was Back To You at 8.30 with a 2.5, which was a pretty good growth from lead-in with 1.5 million less viewers and a 2.0 on the demo.
At 9.00 things got serious, with Idol “down” (500 000 viewers) to 22.1 million viewers, still much better than anything else. After that was a new Criminal Minds with 12.9 million viewers, the same as two weeks ago, though there was a little loss on the demo (3.2 vs 3.5)
At 10.00 CSI: New-York won the slot with 11.4 million viewers, loosing 2 million viewers from last episode two weeks ago. Next was Law & Order, down from last week’s 12.6 million to 9.6 million viewers. Still, it performed well on the demo with 3.0 - pretty close to the 3.1 of CSI: New-York
Boston Legal was followed by 7.3 million viewers, and a low 1.9 on the demo. It’s not really good, but better than Men In Trees used to do, since the later was loosing viewers whereas Boston Legal improved from its poor lead-in (not on the demo though, but Men In Trees was even lower…)
