“We look at these programs, ‘Crime Scene’ was the most-popular program among 35- to 54-year-old viewers, while ‘Sinner’ was a hit among 55+,” said Brian Fuhrer, SVP of product strategy, adding both “Criminal Minds,” and “iCarly” (from Nickelodeon) scored well with 2- to 17-year-olds.

“When we pull back and look at the broadest demo, the most-popular show was ‘Firefly Lane,'” Fuhrer said. “Didn’t win any of the [demo] battles, but it won the war across the broadest demos.”
