Fox’s “Name That Tune” doesn’t appear to be winning with viewers this season.
The second season of the competition series debuted Wednesday night to ho-hum ratings, despite showing relatively strong numbers during its first season last year. The Season 2 premiere could only muster a 0.38 rating, as Fox placed third overall.
CBS once again outperformed all other networks with the Dick Wolf “FBI” franchise. “FBI,” “FBI: International,” and “FBI: Most Wanted” were the three most-watched shows on Wednesday. The original series took the crown with 7.6 million total viewers.
“This Is Us” was the highest-rated individual show during primetime, but NBC’s other offerings couldn’t hold onto high enough ratings for the network to secure the top-rated spot — which also went to CBS.
