Preliminary Ratings: Friday, 01/19/2018

CBS sweeps the Friday night ratings, with its regular line up. However, all three dramas saw slight declines, week-to-week.

Even though FOX only had one hour of original programming, it topped both the all-original ABC and NBC on the night.

9 PM featured the two lowest rated programs of the night, From the BIG 4, with AGENTS OF SHIELD pulling the lowest viewer total, 2.4 million, while TAKEN was a tenth of a point behind AGENTS in the A18-49 and A25-54 demographics.

The CW saw ratings rise nearly 100%, at 8 PM, as the BLACK LIGHTNING encore did better than last week's original CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND episode.
