WEDNESDAY
CRAIG: 8:00 Empire; 9:00 Star
SHILO: 8:00 Empire; 9:00 Star
CRAIG: More of the same, if it ain’t broke, and all of that.
SHILO: The only way FOX would break up Empire and Star at this point is if they developed something that was undeniably compatible with the former. However, the only thing close they have as far as either cast composition or general premise is musical drama Mixtape, which has cooled off in recent weeks and doesn’t sound like something the Empire audience would go for. The network will be undergoing a lot of upheaval in the coming months, so I think they hold on to a Wednesday that has been especially successful and put forth at least one more pairing of the Lee Daniels-verse dramas.

“As far as midseason, I think they either put out a third season of music competition The Four, which moved to Thursday this summer following a successful midseason run on Wednesdays, or return to a two drama lineup.”
The Four run on Thursdays for its first season too. The X-Files and 9-1-1 were on Wednesdays this winter on FOX.
