CBS reality competition series “Survivor” returned with its 43rd season, quickly blazing its way to earning the night’s single best demo score across all major broadcast networks — a 0.79 in the advertiser-favored 18-49 age range across its two-hour season premiere, according Nielsen data.

Over on NBC, the also-popular “Chicago: Fire” may not have been able to match the demo score, but it took home a win for overall viewer numbers, netting 6.7 million viewers for the night in its 9 p.m. time slot for its Season 11 premiere.

In fact, all of the Dick Wolf produced “One Chicago” shows were ratings winners Wednesday.
