A new time slot failed to boost CBS’s Halle Berry drama “Extant,” as it could only tie NBC’s rising “Taxi Brooklyn.” The two networks tied atop the demo ratings, though NBC had the most viewers.
NBC and CBS both earned a 1.5 rating/5 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic. NBC had an average of 7.5 million total viewers, and CBS was second with 5.7 million, according to preliminary numbers.
