Update:<\/b> While the removal of a New York City baseball pre-emption resulted in an adjustment to the preliminary “iZombie” viewership total, it did not affect the episode’s initially reported adults 18-49 rating.<\/p>\n
Per final broadcast data, this week’s edition of The CW series drew a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating with 1.56 million viewers.<\/p>\n
This week’s “iZombie” aired out of a “The Flash” re-run (0.4 rating, 1.34 million viewers). Last week’s installment, which followed the season finale of “The Flash” (1.5 rating, 3.87 million viewers), drew the same 0.6 adults 18-49 rating but a viewership total of just 1.50 million.<\/p>\n
In holding steady in the demo and gaining viewers despite a dramatic reduction in lead-in, “iZombie” again proved that it is attracting a core audience of its own.<\/p>\n
“iZombie” previously made this case on April 7. That episode, too, held up in the demo despite airing out of a low-rated “Flash” encore.<\/p>\n
Both “iZombie” and “The Flash” have been renewed for second seasons. They will continue to air in their existing Tuesday night timeslots.
\n=======================<\/p>\n
Thanks to a baseball pre-emption in the New York market, the fast national rating for Tuesday’s “iZombie” will likely be subject to an atypically large — and almost certainly downward — adjustment. The final, corrected report will be available by Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
Unable to account for the New York baseball pre-emption, the subject-to-change fast national report says Tuesday’s episode drew a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating with 1.85 million viewers.<\/p>\n
As it currently stands, the adults 18-49 rating matches the 0.6 drawn by last week’s episode. The 1.85 million viewership mark, meanwhile, tops the 1.50 million posted by the May 17 installment.<\/p>\n
When the baseball inflation is removed, the adults 18-49 rating may end up trailing last week’s mark. The viewership number will likely be closer to that drawn on May 17.<\/p>\n
Tuesday’s “iZombie” was the first episode since April 7 to air without support from an original “The Flash.” In drawing a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating with 1.77 million viewers, that episode held up considerably well — and proved that “iZombie” was able to attract its own audience.<\/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":[3825,289],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
