Updated:<\/b> Supported by a weakened “NCIS” premiere, “NCIS: New Orleans” did not debut as well in the adults 18-49 rating as many anticipated.<\/em><\/p>\n

It did, however, retain an admirable portion of its lead-in.<\/em><\/p>\n

Airing in the 9PM hour, “New Orleans” drew a 2.5 adults 18-49 rating with 17.22 million viewers. Lead-in “NCIS” drew a slightly stronger 2.9 rating with 18.23 million viewers in the 8PM hour.<\/em><\/p>\n

CBS then closed its evening with “Person of Interest” (1.7, 10.58 million) at 10PM.<\/em><\/p>\n

==============<\/p>\n

Call it risk aversion. Call it being wise. But whatever you call it, it is hard to argue with CBS’ decision to position “NCIS: New Orleans” after the “NCIS” mothership.<\/p>\n

Based on ratings data from Tuesday, that argument will now be nearly impossible to render.<\/p>\n

Airing in the 9PM hour Tuesday, the series premiere of “NCIS: New Orleans” drew a healthy 10.5 overnight household rating.<\/p>\n

Even though its “NCIS” lead-in suffered a year-over-year decline (down from a 12.5 for last year’s opener to an 11.0 for this year’s premiere), the “New Orleans” number topped the 9.8 drawn by “NCIS: Los Angeles” in the slot last season.<\/p>\n

How “NCIS: New Orleans” precisely fared in the adults 18-49 demographic is not yet clear, but it surely appears that the new spin-off found a meaningfully large audience.<\/p>\n

“Person of Interest,” which aired out of “New Orleans,” drew a 6.6 in the 10PM hour.<\/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":[1048,437],"tags":[275,1493,2966,1494],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: "NCIS: New Orleans" Holds Onto "NCIS" Audience (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Updated: Supported by a weakened "NCIS" premiere, "NCIS: New Orleans" did not debut as well in the adults 18-49 rating as many anticipated.
