UPDATE (12:07 PM): EW reports that Grease officially passed The Wiz! Live, with 12.2 million viewers and a 4.3 rating in the 18-49 demo.
As expected, the telecast of Grease: Live! was a big ratings win for Fox, judging by preliminary numbers.
According to THR, Grease: Live! averaged a 7.4 overnight rating over its three-hour run time, which would put it within striking distance of NBC’s December broadcast of The Wiz! Live.
