Empire began on an extremely high note, 3 weeks ago, but the FOX hit show’s ratings have been falling ever since. This week, the numbers slipped from a 5.1 final rating to a 4.6 preliminary rating in the 18-49 demo. It could rise 1/10th when this afternoon’s final numbers are released. Empire started off on Sept 23 with a massive 6.7 rating in the final ratings, and over 16 million viewers.
UPDATE: Empire adjusted up 1/10th in the final ratings.
Survivor stayed fairly steady, dropping a 1/10th compared to last week, while Nashville rose 1/10th.
