‘Chicago’ Lineup Returns To Top Of Wednesday Ratings

With Jeopardy!‘s GOAT now crowned after the ABC game show’s strong primetime run, Wednesday’s lineup settled back into form, with NBC’s Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD topping the heap to give the network the overall victory for the night in the adults 18-49 demographic and total viewers.

Chicago Med (1.2 18-49 rating, 8.37M viewers) was Wednesday’s top show in both metrics, and like Chicago Fire (1.2, 8.13M) and Chicago PD (1.1, 6.76M) ticked up a tenth in the demo from last week’s midseason returns, putting them back on par ratingswise with their fall finales.
