TV Ratings 4/12/17: Designated Survivor Fractional, Beyond Borders Rises at 9 PM (UPDATED)

With most shows in repeats, Wednesday was a mild night for TV ratings. Most shows airing were steady or up, so the night wasn't as ugly as last week. ABC's only original program was Designated Survivor, which was steady despite a repeat lead-in. Shots Fired on Fox was down and was fractional for the first time (the series was fractional in the prelims before adjusting up last week), while Empire was able to tick up after two weeks of ugly drops. The recently renewed Criminal Minds took the night off, so spin-off Beyond Borders did double duty. The show was up two tenths in its special timeslot, and was up one tenth at 10. Survivor was again steady. NBC was in repeats and was stuck at 0.8 all night, while The CW stayed at 0.2 with their repeats, and ABC was at 0.9 in their first hour and 1.0 in their second.

Finals Update: Designated Survivor (-0.2) and repeats of the Goldbergs (-0.1), Speechless (-0.1), Modern Family (-0.1), and Blackish (-0.2) adjusted down.
