The Blacklist was remarkably steady throughout the season, yet was down 31% in raw A18-49 ratings from last season. This would be due in part to being serialized and airing at the lower-viewed 10pm. This is typically a tough time slot for NBC, so the fact that it hovered around a 0.9 A18-49 rating throughout the spring isn't terrible. It seemingly pulls in a lot of ad money, especially in comparison to its mediocre ratings, and while it isn't the huge hit it once was, it's still hanging in there.
