Final Ratings Update:<\/b> In addition to holding completely steady in the adults 18-49 demographic, episode two of ABC’s “Quantico” was its timeslot’s highest-rated and most-watched scripted show.<\/p>\n
It was also ABC’s top Sunday show in both columns.<\/p>\n
Per final broadcast data, the episode of ABC’s new drama drew a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating with 6.983 million viewers. It matched its premiere adults 18-49 rating and nearly tied its premiere viewership mark (7.142 million).<\/p>\n
ABC’s other Sunday programming:
\n7PM – “The Muppets” re-run – 0.5, 2.407 million
\n7:30PM – “The Muppets” re-run – 0.8, 2.664 million
\n8PM – “Once Upon a Time” – 1.8, 5.379 million
\n9PM – “Blood & Oil” – 1.3, 5.275 million
\n====================<\/p>\n
Fast National Update:<\/b> While it suffered a slight week-to-week viewership loss, Sunday’s “Quantico” impressively matched its premiere performance in adults 18-49.<\/p>\n
It also repeated as ABC’s #1 Sunday night show.<\/p>\n
Per fast national data, Sunday’s “Quantico” drew a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating with 6.939 million viewers. Last week’s episode drew the same 1.9 rating but a total of 7.142 million viewers.<\/p>\n
Since even strong series often lose 10-20% of their premiere audiences in week two, this is a clear victory for ABC and its new 10PM drama.<\/p>\n
“Quantico” was the timeslot’s #2 broadcast network program in adults 18-49.<\/p>\n
Other ABC programs:
\n7PM: “The Muppets” re-runs – 0.6, 2.582 million
\n8PM: “Once Upon a Time” – 1.8, 5.329 million
\n9PM: “Blood & Oil” – 1.2, 5.188 million<\/p>\n
===================<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen how the second episode of ABC’s “Quantico” fared in adults 18-49 and total viewership.<\/p>\n
In terms of overnight household ratings, however, “Quantico” was once again the network’s best-performing Sunday night show.<\/p>\n
Per metered market data, Sunday’s “Quantico” drew a 4.7 overnight household rating in the 10PM hour. While that trails the 5.3 drawn by last week’s premiere, it still represents a solid household number.<\/p>\n
Moreover, it was by far the best household rating for one of ABC’s Sunday night programs. The hourlong “Muppets” encore averaged a 1.7 from 7-8PM, while 8PM drama “Once Upon a Time” and 9PM drama “Blood & Oil” both posted 3.3 overnight household ratings.<\/p>\n
While the younger-skewing veteran “Once Upon a Time” may at least partially close the gap in terms of adults 18-49, the strong household differential all but assures “Quantico” will lead in total viewership. Adults 18-49 and total viewership data is due by 11:15AM.<\/p>\n
As far as its timeslot goes, “Quantico” will again rank as its timeslot’s #2 broadcast network program in adults 18-49 (ahead of CBS’ drama but behind NBC’s Sunday Night Football).<\/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":[233,5068,899,4127,1911],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
