The mega-crossover propelled Chicago Med to become the most-watched program of the evening, and has resulted in a higher viewership turnout when compared to this timeframe last season.
This includes the three-hour crossover event that aired on Wednesday, October 5, which resulted in Chicago Med bringing in around 1.7 million viewers more than its season premiere the week prior.
The strategy appears to be an effective one, as NBC has seen measured success in its ratings and viewership totals since the Chicago-centric lineup debuted the most recent seasons.
