CBS’ “Tracker,” “Elsbeth” and “Blue Bloods” saw the biggest delayed viewing growth across this year’s broadcast spring finales, TheWrap can reveal exclusively.
The “Tracker” finale, which initially aired on Sunday, May 19, brought in the highest finale audience so far with 11.25 million total viewers, according to Nielsen live-plus-seven-day figures — adding 3.595 million viewers from its live-plus-same-day viewership. While the “Tracker” finale did not surpass the whopping 18.4 million viewers brought in for its post-Super Bowl premiere, viewership for the finale was up 10% from its regular timeslot premiere the following week.
Likewise, “Blue Bloods” added 2.75 million viewers to hit a seven-day viewership of 8.01 million, while the “Elsbeth” finale added 2.73 million viewers to reach its live-plus-seven-day total viewership of 7.54 million, leading “Elsbeth” to cement its place as the No. 2 most-watched new broadcast series with an average 7.45 million seven-day viewers across its debut season (Note: This ranking does not include live-plus-seven-day viewership figures for ABC’s Thursday finales for “9-1-1,” “Grey’s Anatomy” or “Station 19” as they are not available yet).
