‘Big Brother’ Wins Wednesday’s Highly Competitive Primetime Ratings Battle

The long-running CBS reality competition series was broadcast’s highest-rated show, but not it’s most-watched

As broadcast television approaches the highly-anticipated fall season, the competition for primetime ratings is beginning to heat up.

On Wednesday night, CBS’ “Big Brother” managed to snag the best overall rating in the highly-coveted 18-49 demographic with an remarkably strong 0.8 score. But even as the popular reality competition series scored an impressive demo rating, helping CBS become the night’s highest-rated network, it wasn’t even among the two most-watched primetime offerings on Wednesday.

That honor falls to NBC, which scored the most total average viewers with 4.1 million thanks to the strong performances of “America’s Got Talent” and “Password.”
