With ratings on the significant year-to-year downside, The CW will move three-year-old action drama Nikita back into the Friday 8 p.m. hour effective on November 30. The current occupant, America’s Next Top Model, concludes its run on November 16 (and will return with new episodes next summer). A combination of holiday specials (Movie Prancer Returns on December 14 and encore special Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer on December 21) and repeats of freshman drama Arrow will fill the Friday 9 p.m. hour until January 18.
Nikita’s most recent performance was a mere 1.14 million viewers and a 0.3 rating/1 share among adults 18-49 (out of 1.26 million viewers and a 0.4/ 1 in the demo for America’s Next Top Model) on November 2, according to the Live Plus Same Day results from Nielsen on November 2.
