From ABC Darlings to CMT Renegades: The Viewership Rollercoaster
Nashville started out on ABC, stealing hearts with its tales of ambition, love triangles more intricate than a Nashville traffic jam, and, of course, Rayna Jaymes' legendary wardrobe. They pulled in a whopping 2.4 million viewers in the coveted 18-49 demographic during their first season, which is basically like scoring a number one hit on the Billboard charts (well, almost).
