“Station 19” fans said goodbye to Dean Miller (Okieriete Onaodowan) on Thursday, when his final “Station 19” episode drew 4.4 million viewers and the “Grey’s Anatomy” crossover he died on had 4.6 million.
Onaodowan has been playing Miller on “Station 19,” which is currently in its fifth season, since the “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff show debuted in 2018.
ABC finished in second place with its latest “Grey’s” universe crossover. No shame in that: Fox predictably dominated primetime ratings with a better “Thursday Night Football” game than last week.
The Miami Dolphins upset the Baltimore Ravens last night, 22-10.
Due to the nature of live sports, the below early Nielsen numbers for Fox should be considered subject to extra adjustment. Final numbers will come out later today.
Fox was first in ratings with a 2.1 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 8.1 million, according to preliminary numbers. Those are the initial averages of the Miami home game.
