In fast-national ratings that are not yet time zone-adjusted, NBC is #1 for the night among ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in adults 18-49, adults 18-34, adults 25-54 and total viewers.

  • In metered-market results, which are time zone-adjusted, NBC Sports coverage of last night's Cincinnati Bengals-Arizona Cardinals NFL Preseason Game averaged a 4.8 rating, 8 share in metered-market households from 8:15-11 p.m. ET and NBC finished the night #1 in the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research.

For the Week:

  • Estimates are more approximate than usual due to live sports coverage on CBS Friday night, ABC and CBS Saturday night and NBC Sunday night. Making use of rough approximations for those nights, current unofficial estimates for the week in adult 18-49 rating are: CBS, 1.4; NBC, 1.2; ABC, 1.0; Fox, 0.9; CW, 0.3. Total-viewer estimates are: CBS, 6.1 million; NBC, 5.1 million; ABC, 4.2 million; Fox, 2.7 million; CW, 0.9 million.
