In HH Fox posted a 6.5 average rating and 11 share, with CBS at 6.2/10, ABC 4.1/7, NBC 3.5/6, Univision 1.9/3, CW 1.0/2, Ion 0.8/1, Telemundo 0.7/1, TeleFutura 0.4/1, Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.
In 18-49 Fox was at 4.0/12, CBS 2.3/7, ABC 2.0/6, NBC 1.6/5, Univision 1.4/4, CW 0.7/2, Telemundo 0.6/2, Ion 0.4/1, TeleFutura 0.3/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
