The first season of Nashville typically airs Wednesday nights at 10pm on the ABC network. The drama’s cast includes Connie Britton, Hayden Panettiere, Powers Boothe, Charles Esten, Eric Close, Clare Bowen, Jonathan Jackson, Sam Palladio, Robert Wisdom, and Judith Hoag.

Compared to last year’s Revenge premiere in the same timeslot, the network was down by 15% in the demo (vs a 3.3 rating) and down by 10% in viewership (vs 10.02 million). This wasn’t a terrible start but it’s not a great one either.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Nashville is a GREAT show. I guess there is not enough violence or nastiness for today’s reality junk audiences. What a shame. And the ratings? The problem lies squarely with ABC for all the reruns. It seems like it WANTS Nashville to fail so they can put on the Kardashians and their ilk. Pitiful. The ABC brass should be ashamed.
I think Nashville is a great show and would like to see it renewed for next season.
All of the actors are great.
Leave Nashville on. It is a great show – love the storylines. Very disappointed with the reruns but love every new episode.
Absolutely love this show!!! Its the best hour on television!!!
Love love love it!

i live in venezuela and it´s just great to have a show like Nashville on..!!
Love Nashville. Really hope it gets renewed.
ABSOLUTELY RENEW IT! Are you crazy? Best show on>>>>>>>>
If there is one show ABC SHOULD cancel its Nashville.
Best show on TV. Love it.
Please don’t cancel. Enjoy the show a lot.
Keep it on, cancel some of the crap reality shows and unbelievably stupid sitcoms.
Please don’t cancel.
One of the handful of TV programs worth watching on ABC primetime. Hope it continues!
I love this show!!! This show gave me a reason to sit down and watch tv again. My complaint…. To many breaks,
