Fox drama “Empire” has dominated another Wednesday in the ratings race, but it fell to its season low as it nears the end of its fall run. A special one-time lead-in from “The Voice,” meanwhile, helped lift NBC’s “Law & Order: Svu” to a season high.

According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, “Empire” averaged a 4.2 rating/13 share in adults 18-49 and 11.1 million viewers overall, down 9% (0.4) from last week in the demo to its lowest rating since the second episode of its rookie season.
