Overnight ratings report for the Arrow Season 5 premiere, titled "Legacy" Arrow “Legacy” Ratings Report

Bad news and good news regarding last night’s overnight ratings.

The bad news is that Arrow’s season premiere ratings were down from usual. The good news is that almost every show on broadcast TV was down last night. The Flash was down a bit on Tuesday too, and lead-out Frequency didn’t do too well, either.

The initial numbers — which can and definitely will go up later, especially when DVR is factored in — have the Arrow season premiere at 1.89 million viewers and a 0.7/3 in the Ages 18-49 demo.
