Update 2:<\/b> The premiere of FOX’s “The X-Files” drew 16.2 million total viewers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/b> Because it actually aired from approximately 10:23PM-11:23PM, FOX’s “The X-Files” premiere cannot be properly measured by the daily fast national ratings.<\/p>\n

One can, however, use those ratings to get a general sense of how the show performed.<\/p>\n

Per fast national data, FOX averaged a 7.7 adults 18-49 rating and 20.63 million total viewers from 10-10:30PM (post-NFC Championship coverage and the beginning of “The X-Files”) and a 5.1 adults 18-49 rating and 13.470 million total viewers from 10:30-11PM (all “The X-Files”).<\/p>\n

Due later this afternoon, a time-adjusted report will confirm exactly how “The X-Files” fared in its broadcast window.<\/p>\n

Leading out of the more competitive and higher rated January 2014 NFC Championship game (Seahawks vs. 49ers), the season two premiere of FOX’s “The Following” posted a 4.4 and 11.18 million total viewers in the post-game slot.
\n===================<\/p>\n

Limited by virtue of the game’s blowout nature, the NFC Championship still drew a massive audience Sunday night. That massive audience provided a strong boost for episode one of FOX’s returning “The X-Files.”<\/p>\n

Per metered market data, “The X-Files” posted an 11.1 overnight household rating within the 10:15-11:15PM window. Due later this afternoon, the adults 18-49 and viewership numbers should also be strong.<\/p>\n

The natural point of comparison will be to the second season premiere of FOX’s “The Following,” which drew a 4.4 adults 18-49 rating and 11.18 million total viewers after the 2014 NFC Championship game. While that game was far more competitive — and thus likely drew better numbers in the lead-in position — “The Following” did not possess the brand recognition of “The X-Files.”<\/p>\n

— The 7-9:45PM portion of the Panthers-Cardinals game drew a 27.3 overnight household rating. FOX’s post-game show followed with a 20.5.<\/p>\n

— Night two of FOX’s “The X Files” airs Monday at 8PM. That slot will serve as its regular timeslot for the remainder of the limited run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54533,"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":[255,5658],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings Update: FOX's "The X-Files" Return Draws Large Audience<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update 2: The premiere of FOX's "The X-Files" drew 16.2 million total viewers.
