Schedules Plus: Network Averages on Wednesday

This is a compilation of all the broadcast networks' Schedules Plus averages on Wednesday, providing a look at how the network race has evolved over time on this night. These averages come directly from the night's Schedules Plus posts, which are linked in the table headers below. As with the individual Schedules Plus, it is important to keep in mind that these are not averages of every single thing that aired on the network, but just the most frequent occupant in each timeslot in each section of the year.
