Wednesday night was a weird one on broadcast television. The highest-rated TV show wasn’t even a TV show — it was an ABC airing of 2009 Disney-Pixar movie “Up.”
The film was enough to carry ABC to a first-place finish among adults 18-49. Everything was out of line in terms of total viewers, however.
ABC was first in ratings with a 0.6 rating/3 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and third in total viewers with an average of 2.8 million, according to preliminary numbers. From 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., “Up” averaged a 0.7/4 and 3.4 million viewers. At 10 p.m., “Marvel’s Agents of Shield” managed a 0.3/2 and 1.5 million viewers.
Fox and Univision tied for second in ratings, both with a 0.5/3. Fox was fourth in total viewers with 1.8 million, Univision was fifth with 1.7 million.
