FOX’s ‘Empire’ Ratings Rise for the Ninth Straight Week

Date:

Fox’s ‘Empire’ ratings continue to rise for the ninth straight week.

Typically Daylight Saving Time kills ratings for TV shows but, Fox’s breakout hit ‘Empire’, ratings for the show have increased for the ninth consecutive week heading into the two-hour finale.

According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, “Empire” averaged a 5.6 rating/17 share in adults 18-49 (down a tick from last week’s prelim score) to more than double the rating of any other program on the night. The show’s five-week growth streak in 18-49 looks likely to come to an end, but currently standing at an un-rounded 5.644 in the prelims, “Empire” figures to finish at either a 5.7 or 5.8 (last week’s final score) in the nationals.

And in total viewers, it gained about 400,000 to set yet another high with 14.7 million.  The updated track: 9.90 million (Jan. 7), 10.32 million (Jan. 14), 11.07 million (Jan. 21), 11.35 million (Jan. 28), 11.47 million (Feb. 4), 11.96 million (Feb. 18), 13.02 million (Feb. 18), 13.90 million (Feb. 25), 14.33 million (March 4) and now a preliminary 14.7 million.

Fox executive never expected the ratings to be this great. Expect, Season 2 to be even bigger and better for the network that is constantly struggling to find hit TV shows.
