Also, the finale averaged a 2.04 rating with adults 18-49 when multiplatform L+7 numbers are included — up 716% from the 0.25 rating in live+same day.

When just looking at linear viewership, “High Potential’s” season finale shot up to 8.71 million total viewers and a 0.61 rating with adults 18-49. That also is a six-week high in those measurements.

ABC notes that multiplatform ratings currently have “High Potential” tied with CBS’ newcomer “Marshals” as the No. 1 broadcast show in adults 18-49 (2.27 rating).
