Code Black season 3 premiere ratings down; Designated Survivor hits low
Wednesday night’s new episode drew as a whole a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic and that was enough to tie the show for #1 on the night. However, it was tied with a repeat of Chicago PD and you have to think that NBC is going to take over this timeslot the moment that it comes back on the air with another new episode of the cop show.
So far, Code Black is down in the ratings more than 25% in the demo from the season 2 average, but is only down about 7% in total viewers. It’s a little too early to say one way or another if the series is going to be able to come back with another season.

As for some other ratings news on the night, we’re starting to have a feeling that not even Kiefer Sutherland’s international popularity may be able to save Designated Survivor. We know that ABC may have promoted the series as the next big thing back when it first came on the air but at this point, it’s starting to become all the more clear that this could be the end of the road.
Elsewhere, Survivor and Empire ended up tying for #1 on the night with a 1.6 rating, and this is the part of the article where we all acted shocked that a show in its 36th season like Survivor is still somehow ending up being as popular as it is. While the ratings have declined over time, it’s still more popular than many other series on the network.
