‘The Wiz Live!’ Scores Huge Ratings for NBC
The Wiz Live! brought in massive ratings for NBC on Thursday night (Dec. 3), with the live broadcast easily surpassing last year’s Peter Pan Live! show, according to early ratings.
Per Variety, The Wiz averaged a 4.4 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic, which marks NBC’s best Thursday primetime showing since the 2009 finale of ER (excluding the Olympics). Although The Wiz blew by Peter Pan, early numbers show that the heights of The Sound of Music Live! broadcast in 2013 were not reached.
