The CW would not have moved “Cult” to Fridays if it had faith in the series’ potential to become a hit, but because standards on the night are reduced, fans hoped the show could maintain its audience in the new timeslot.<\/p>\n
If it matched–or even slightly exceeded–its Tuesday numbers in the Friday at 9PM slot, it would conceivably demonstrate some value to the network.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, that did not happen, and despite critical consensus that the show is improving after its repudiated pilot, the audience slipped.<\/p>\n
Leading out of “Nikita,” which drew a 0.4 rating and 1.39 million viewers, “Cult” scored a 0.2 with 720,000 viewers. It had delivered a 0.3 rating in both Tuesday airings.<\/p>\n
Worse than the dreadful rating is the fact that the show’s viewership average dipped by almost 200,000 viewers at the midway point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
