Chicago Fire attracts its biggest crowd on Wednesday. Survivor dominates the demo

In the latest NBC TV ratings Chicago fire was the most watched program on Wednesday, while CBS Survivor dominated the evening in the demo.

NBC | From the long-awaited #OneChicago season premieres, Chicago Medicine (5.5 million total viewers and a 0.3 demo rating, TVLine reader rating of “B+”; read summary) and Chicago fire (5.6 mil/0.4, Reader Rating ‘B’; read summary) both scores returned fairly stable compared to the May finals, while Chicago Police (4.3 mil/0.3, Reader Rating “B+”; read summary) was lower on both measures. (Note: one or more of Chicagomay have reached one or another all-time low, but in these bleak times I won’t always go out of my way to describe such less-than-superlatives).
