'The Flash' airs rerun due to midterms, to air two episodes during crossover week in December
The show saw a dip in rating due to the midterms, but hopes to recover eyeballs with its upcoming Elseworlds crossover
'The Flash' was supposed to release its fifth episode titled 'All Doll'd Up' on November 6, but due to the United States midterm elections it was postponed.
Instead of airing the new episode, the network aired a rerun of the first episode of this season.
The rating of the show was adjusted downward due to the heavy coverage of elections by news channels. The show which had a rating of 0.3, slipped to 0.2 (0.78 million viewers) in adults between the ages of 18 and 49 years.
The top three contenders in terms of ratings were news channels covering the elections like NBC, ABC, and CBS, all in the time frame from 8 pm to 11 pm, with more than 3 million viewers.
