Update:<\/b> Final broadcast data paints an even more favorable picture of FOX’s juggernaut “Empire.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday’s episode delivered a 4.8 adults 18-49 rating with 11.96 million viewers. Up from last week’s 4.6 with 11.47 million, the performance includes a series high in A18-49 and the fifth consecutive gain (and thus a series high) in total viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

The series’ “American Idol” lead-in drew a 2.8 with 10.66 million viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

After obliterating expectations with its premiere performance, FOX’s “Empire” spent the next several weeks ridiculing tradition. The series, which premiered as a monster, has enjoyed a viewership increase for each subsequent telecast.<\/p>\n

And while it did suffer one weekly decline in adults 18-49, the 4.6 it delivered for last Wednesday’s broadcast represented its best demo rating yet.<\/p>\n

Whether one looks at the series’ initial performance level, its most recent performance level or the growth that led from point A to point B, he will doubtfully be able to find anything to discredit the idea that “Empire” is clicking with audiences.<\/p>\n

He will certainly struggle to discredit this week’s performance.<\/p>\n

Per fast national data, Wednesday’s “Empire” drew an improved 4.7 adults 18-49 rating with 11.92 million viewers. Both represent series highs for “Empire,” which drew a 4.6 and 11.47 million viewers in last week’s final nationals.<\/p>\n

Both also represent growth from the episode’s “American Idol” lead-in. “Idol” drew a 2.7 with 10.40 million viewers from 8-9PM ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34999,"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":[3406,176,255],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: FOX's "Empire" Rises Once Again (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Final broadcast data paints an even more favorable picture of FOX's juggernaut "Empire."
