Update:<\/b> According to final broadcast data, Thursday’s “Aquarius” premiere averaged a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating with 5.67 million total viewers in its 9-11PM timeslot.<\/p>\n
The new NBC series was the timeslot’s most-watched network program. Among adults 18-49, it was network television’s #2 show at 9PM and #1 broadcast at 10PM.<\/p>\n
Despite faring better competitively at 10PM, the two-hour “Aquarius” broadcast actually lost viewers as it progressed.<\/p>\n
Per the earlier, fast national ratings report, “Aquarius” drew a 1.1 rating with 6.13 million viewers from 9-10PM and a 1.0 with 5.25 million viewers from 10-11PM.
\n========================<\/p>\n
The most-watched network program in the 9-11PM timeslot and the highest-rated network program in the latter hour, NBC’s “Aquarius” premiere fared well from a competitive standpoint.<\/p>\n
In an objective sense, its adults 18-49 performance was nonetheless of the modest variety.<\/p>\n
Thursday’s “Aquarius” launch drew a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating with 6.13 million viewers in the 9-10PM hour and a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating with 5.25 million viewers in the 10-11PM timeslot.<\/p>\n
Visible on an hourly basis, the viewership bleed is even more notable at the half-hour level. “Aquarius” started with a 1.2 rating from 9-9:30PM but had fallen to a 0.9 by the closing 10:30-11PM half hour.<\/p>\n
Modest at face value, the adults 18-49 marks benefited from a competitive atmosphere deflated by the emergence of summer. “Aquarius” ranked second among network programs in the 9PM hour (behind FOX’s “Wayward Pines”) and first in the 10PM hour.<\/p>\n
As noted, it claimed the highest viewership total during both hours.<\/p>\n
NBC led into “Aquarius” with “Dateline” (1.2, 6.39 million).<\/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":[3020,210],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
