Some of the final Nielsen Media Research figures are now available for Wednesday night's installment of ENTERPRISE, showing a firm overall stand and an improvement in crucial demographic measures.

Maintaining the 2.6/5 rating/share for last week's season premiere, "The Xindi" (story), the second episode of the STAR TREK prequel's junior year held firm despite a 4% overnight drop (story). This figure means that roughly 2.6 percent of television households were watching ENTERPRISE Wednesday night, accounting for 5% of the total households watching television at the time.

Total viewership increased for "Anomaly," however, to 4.29 million viewers over "Xindi"'s 4.07m, according to Mediaweek. This makes "Anomaly" the most-watched episode of the series since February's "Future Tense" drew 4.62 million viewers. "Anomaly" attracted the fourth largest audience for ENTERPRISE this year, but remains below most of last fall's episodes.

2.6/5 puts "Anomaly" above many later second season episodes, including "Bounty," "First Flight," "Horizon," "Judgment," and "The Breach." The 2003 high remains "Cease Fire" with a 2.9/5 in February. In further encouraging news, "Anomaly" showed a 13% increase in the Adults 18-49 demographic figure this week, a measure important to advertisers, improving to 1.8/6 from "Xindi"'s 1.6/6 showing on September 10th.

Meanwhile, new lead-out JAKE 2.0 delivered a 1.9/3 overall household rating Wednesday.
