Fox’s new show ‘Empire’ a hit 3 weeks in a row

According to Robert Seidman, who founded TV ratings site “TV by the Numbers,” Nielsen designates roughly 13% of TV homes in the U.S. as African American, who are accounting for about 60% of the show’s viewership.

On-demand availability of the show may also be helping ratings. Fox has been promoting its Internet streams and video-on-demand systems.
