LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – “World of Dance” is currently at a new series low in total viewers in the Wednesday overnight ratings.

Later on NBC, “Reverie” (0.4, 2 million) was even.

ABC aired only the CMA Fest, which drew a 0.9 and 4.7 million viewers. That is down 25% in the demo and approximately 18% in total viewers from last year’s broadcast, which drew a 1.2 and 5.7 million viewers.

The only original to air on CBS was “Big Brother” (1.5, 5.6 million), which was the top show of the night.

On Fox, “MasterChef” (1.0, 3.7 million) ticked up in the demo, while “Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back” (0.9, 3 million) held steady.

For The CW, “Burden of Truth” (0.1, 0.82 million) ticked down in its third week.
