Moreover, the three Chicago dramas have dominated Wednesday nights in total viewers, and the One Chicago lineup is poised to give NBC just its second Wednesday season-long win in total viewers in 17 years. All three series rank among television’s top seven most-watched dramas, and all three are generating double-digit digital growth this season versus last.
In Live+7 Nielsens, Chicago Med is delivering 11.0 million viewers, Fire is averaging 11.4 million, and P.D. is attracting 11.0 million, with a 1.7 rating in adults 18-49 for Med, a 1.9 for Fire, and a 2.0 for P.D. Hence, it is not surprising that the network went forward to renew this franchise for more seasons to get the desired ratings for NBC to get more reception and viewership.
