Wednesday's TV ratings are in, and it's a mixed bag of winners and losers! But here's the shocker: some long-running favorites are struggling, while newcomers are gaining traction.
The Floor and The Amazing Race Surge:
At 8 PM, Fox's The Floor saw a modest increase in the 18-49 rating, sharing the 4th spot with Chicago Med and Shifting Gears. But the real surprise came at 9:30 PM, as The Amazing Race on CBS jumped to a 0.31 rating, capturing a 5th place share in its time slot.
One Chicago Franchise Slumps:
It's a different story for the One Chicago franchise. Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago PD all witnessed a decline in ratings, with Chicago Med and Chicago Fire sharing the 4th spot in their respective time slots. This could spark a debate among fans: is the franchise losing its edge, or is it a temporary blip?
Cable Highlights:
The cable arena saw some intense competition. MLB ALDS on FS1 dominated with a 0.99 rating and 4.63 million viewers, while the WNBA Playoffs on ESPN attracted a 0.25 rating and 1.30 million viewers. Fox News' Jesse Watters Primetime and Hannity tied with a 0.16 rating, but Hannity led in total viewers with 2.84 million.
Controversial Cancellations:
And now, the part that might stir some passionate discussions. Wild Cards on CW and The Golden Bachelor on ABC both had low ratings, but is it fair to assume they're on the chopping block? With the TV landscape evolving, should networks give shows more time to find their audience, or is it a cutthroat business where only the immediate winners survive?
What are your thoughts? Do you think the One Chicago franchise can bounce back, or is it time for a fresh narrative twist? Are you surprised by the rise of The Floor and The Amazing Race? Share your opinions below, and let's keep the conversation going!
