In the latest TV ratings, ABC's The Rookie closed out its fourth season — and paid off, to an extent, its latest Chen/Bradford tease — with 3.5 million total viewers and a 0.3 demo rating, dipping week-to-week and matching its demo low (last hit on Jan. 30). Opening ABC's night, AFV (4.7 mil/0.6) and American Idol (4.9 mil/0.6) were both down — yet shared the Sunday demo crown. Leading out of Weakest Link (1.9 mil/0.3), NBC's broadcast of the Billboard Music Awards slipped to new lows of 2.1 mil/0.
