ABC’s “Station 19” was primetime’s highest-rated show Thursday night. But NBC’s “Law & Order” trilogy held strong, prompting both networks to tie for first place in ratings among the 18-49 demographic.

Neither was most-watched. That title went to CBS’ “Young Sheldon,” which brought in 6.5 million total viewers. CBS’ “Ghosts” drew the second-largest audience of the night with 5.5 million viewers tuning in. Those numbers helped the network secure the top spot for viewership overall, averaging 4.8 million. 

NBC and ABC tied for first in ratings with a 0.5 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic.

NBC was second in viewers with 4 million, while ABC was third with 3.6
