Ratings: Station 19 Hits Audience High With Crossover, Deputy Dips Again
ABC’s Station 19 opened Season 3 on Thursday night with 7 million total viewers — its largest audience ever — and a 1.2 demo rating, up from its sophomore average (5.3 mil/1.0) while just shy of Grey’s Anatomy‘s fall demo average in the leadoff slot (1.3).
Christening later time slots and after a nine-week break, Grey’s Anatomy (6.7 mil/1.4) and A Million Little Things (4.2 mil/0.8) were both on par with their fall finales. What’s more, Grey’s improved on Million Things‘ fall average in the hammock slot (4.5 mil/0.8), while AMLT improved on HTGAWM‘s fall average (2.3 mil/0.5).
