But ABC owns the primetime tie-breaker of total viewers
Fox started off on fire last night with its “Hell’s Kitchen” Season 19 finale, which aired from 8-9 p.m., according to the earliest available primetime Nielsen data. It cooled off from there with episodes of Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing” and Denis Leary and Elizabeth Perkins’ “The Moodys.”
The network ended up in a three-way tie for first place in the key demo ratings with ABC and NBC. ABC, which aired “Grey’s Anatomy” on Thursday, held the total-viewer tiebreaker.
ABC, NBC and Fox tied for first place in ratings, each with a 0.6 rating/4 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic. ABC was first in total viewers with an average of 4 million, according to preliminary numbers. NBC was second with 3.897 million total viewers, Fox was fourth with 2.3 million.
