While it did not perform as well as the 2014 midseason finale, Sunday’s “The Walking Dead” bested the previous week’s episode in adults 18-49 and total viewership.<\/p>\n
Per Nielsen cable data, the broadcast drew a 7.02 adults 18-49 rating and 13.981 million total viewers. The numbers top the 6.65 rating and 13.224 million viewership average posted by the previous episode.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s broadcast served as the midseason\/fall finale for season six. The previous midseason finale, which aired on November 30, 2014, drew a 7.6 rating and 14.807 million total viewers.<\/p>\n
— “TWD” led into “Into The Badlands,” which posted a 2.46 rating and a 5.166 million viewership mark.<\/p>\n
While not as strong as the November 15 series premiere (3.15, 6.90 million), the performance bests that of last week’s episode (2.27, 4.828 million).<\/p>\n
— “Talking Dead,” which again aired after “Badlands” rather than “TWD,” posted a 1.27 rating and reached 2.727 million viewers.<\/p>\n
Without direct lead-in support from “The Walking Dead,” the post-game show has been taking a hit. Episodes that immediately followed “The Walking Dead” would typically draw well over a 2.0 in the demo.<\/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":[671,176,5333,3787,969],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
