It was a pretty decent night for the broadcast networks on Wednesday night as three shows were above a 2.0 demo in both the 8pm and 9pm hours, a rare occurrence these days. NBC started things off with a special edition of The Voice and it powered NBC to a strong 8pm hour, though it was down from its usual Monday & Tuesday numbers, which was expected. It also helped Law & Order: SVU rise 1.2 million viewers and half a demo point for a season high. This show seems to always benefit big from a Voice lead-in. At 10pm, Chicago PD was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. On FOX, Rosewood was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. Empire took another hit as it fell half a million viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo. It's getting closer to its series low - the 3.8 it got for the series premiere back in January.

ABC had its regular lineup back after the CMA Awards last week. The Middle was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo to start off the night. The Goldbergs followed and was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Modern Family was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last new airing three weeks ago. Black-ish was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Interesting that it did better two weeks ago when it followed a Modern Family repeat. The worst performance was at 10pm where Nashville was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to tie a series low. The three 10pm shows on ABC this week have gotten a 1.0, 0.4, and 1.0 demo. Yikes. Finally on CBS, Survivor was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Criminal Minds stopped the bleeding and was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for the first rise of its season. Code Black was up half a million viewers and even in the demo at 10pm. It has at least been consistent so I could see CBS possibly giving it a few additional episodes.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Law & Order: SVU (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Nashville (ABC)
