Don't expect this show to still be a thing come January. 

The retention out of The Masked Singer has been worryingly low since the start. 

As for the CMA Awards, they did 11.3 million viewers and a 2.0 rating. 

In a surprising development, the telecast is up 12 percent in viewers year-to-year, and steady in the demo.

Riverdale and Nancy Drew each gained a tenth. Their live ratings may be low, but these shows get decent gains with DVR and streaming. 

A controversial episode of Survivor was down to 6 million viewers and a 1.1 rating, a new season low. 

S.W.A.T. held steady in the demo with another 0.5 rating.

Chicago Med (7.4 million/1.1 rating), Chicago Fire (7.2 million/1.1 rating), and Chicago P.D. (6.4 million/1.0 rating) were all steady in the demo, proving to be a resilient force in the face of stiff competition.
