Ratings: CBS’ ‘I Get That a Lot’ Leads Sleepy Wednesday
CBS won a slow Wednesday night thanks in part to the reality special “I Get That a Lot.”
The hidden camera special, which puts celebrities like singer Rita Ora in working-class jobs and records people’s reactions, scored a 1.0 rating in the advertiser coveted adults 18-49 demographic and just under 5 million viewers in its 8 p.m. ET time slot.
But for comparison purposes, a rerun of “Criminal Minds” on CBS at 10 managed a 0.9 rating and the same number of viewers.
CBS finished the night in first place with a 0.9 rating and 4.7 million viewers overall. “I Get That a Lot” was the only new program on the schedule, with the network airing repeats for the rest of the night.
NBC finished second with a 0.9 rating and 4.6 million viewers. The network aired nothing but repeats during its primetime schedule.
ABC tied for second with 0.9 rating but finished third in total viewers with 3.8 million, airing only repeats.
Telemundo and Univision tied for third place in the demo with a 0.7. Telemundo netted just under 2 million viewers for the night, while Univision scored 1.8 million.
