ABC's household audience grew as Sunday progressed. "Blood & Oil" topped "OUAT," and "Quantico" topped "Blood & Oil."
The adults 18-49 and total viewership numbers may tell a different story, but the preliminary household ratings identify "Quantico" as ABC's top Sunday show.
Per metered market data, "Quantico" drew a 5.4 overnight household rating from 10-10:30PM and a 5.3 from 10:30-11PM.
The "Quantico" premiere led out of the debut of ABC's "Blood & Oil." The new soap drew a 4.5 overnight household rating from 9-9:30PM and a 4.4 from 9:30-10PM.
While not as strong as "Quantico" in the overnights, "Blood & Oil" did build on its "Once Upon a Time" lead-in, at least as far as household audience is concerned. The season premiere of "OUAT" posted a steady 3.7 overnight household rating throughout the 8PM hour.
ABC opened its night with the "Dark Swan Rises" special. It drew a 2.1 household rating at 7PM and a 2.0 at 7:30PM.
Good start for ABC Sunday in ratings in top 25 mtks in A1849, lead by @priyankachopra in #Quantico's 2.3 rtg, beating #CSI series finale 1.7
Let's hope the show keeps up the high ratings.
