  -Ratings Breakdown:
  Sophomore “Empire” led Fox to a typical Wednesday, topping the night with a 7.7 rating/12 share in the household overnights. Comparably, that built from lead-in “Rosewood” (#4: 3.9/ 6 at 8 p.m.) by 97 percent. And “Empire was up by a whopping 305 percent from failed year-ago occupant “Red Band Society” (1.9/ 3 on 11/12/14). What more can you say?
  
  Second for the night, and ignited by a Wednesday 8 p.m. edition of “The Voice,” was NBC. The singing competition led the 8 p.m. hour with a 6.7/11 in the household overnights, which was 26 percent above competing “Survivor” on CBS (#2: 5.3/ 9). And it led into “Law & Order: SVU” (#4: 5.1/ 8), which got a boost, and “Chicago PD” (#1t: 4.4/ 8) from 9-11 p.m. Fans of the original “Law & Order” will be happy to know that there is ongoing talk of a 10-13 episode new season incorporating various cast-members from the first 20 seasons.
  
  As for “Survivor…SPOILER ALERT: If you don’t want to know what happened on “Survivor” last night, stop reading. Considering this is a season of all returnees who supposedly know how to play “Survivor,” nine people should not have voted for Kelley Wentworth. The vote should have been split, with either Abi-Maria or Ciera the second vote in the event Kelley had the idol. The majority still rules, and Kelley, Abi-Maria and Ciera may not last past the next episode, but last night’s tribal council will go down in the record books as one of the worst mistakes made in the history of the show.
  
  “Survivor” led into “Criminal Minds” (#3: 5.2/ 8) and “Code Black” (#1t: 4.4/ 8) from 9-11 p.m., which is on the fence at present on any additional episodes.
  
  Elsewhere, ABC was at typical Wednesday overnight levels with its combination of sitcoms “The Middle” (#3: 5.0/ 8), “The Goldbergs” (#3: 4.5/ 7), “Modern Family” (#2: 5.6/ 9) and “black-ish” (#4: 4.0/ 6) and drama “Nashville” (#3: 3.3/ 6). Stepping into the Wednesday 10 p.m. hour in place of “Nashville” will be the second season of anthology “American Crime” on January 6.
  
  And The CW populated the evening with “Arrow” (#5: 1.8/ 3) and “Supernatural” (#5: 1.1/ 2), which were both equal to one week earlier.

  About the Daily Ratings
  
  Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.
  
  The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
  
  Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.
  
  Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
  
  Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.
