"The Voice" (2.5/8 in 18-49, 10.3 million viewers overall from 8-10:01 p.m. ET) ranked as the #1 show of the night on the Big 4 in adults 18-49, as well as adults 18-34, adults 25-54 and all key adult-female demos.

"The Voice" is currently running within 0.1 of the comparable third Monday live telecast of the prior cycle (2.6 on Nov. 24) and is up +7% versus that fall telecast in total viewers (10.276 million vs. 9.600 million) -- note that last night's "Voice" is close to rounding up in 18-49 (currently a 2.54 in these preliminary fast-affiliate ratings).

"The Voice" will add significant audience via time-shifting -- last week's "Voice" grew by +22% in 18-49 rating going from "live plus same day" to "live plus three day" Nielsens (from a 2.89 rating to a 3.54) and by 1.7 million viewers overall (from 11.0 million to 12.7 million).

"The Night Shift" (1.3/4 in 18-49, 5.5 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) is currently matching last week's rating in adults 18-49 (1.3 vs. 1.3) and is up slightly in total viewers (5.526 million vs. 5.524 million), pending updates.

"The Night Shift" is currently running within 0.1 of the slot lead among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49, pending updates, reducing a deficit that stood at 0.3 in official nationals last week (1.3 vs. 1.6 for CBS's "NCIS: Los Angeles" on April 13).

"The Night Shift" will add substantial viewership via time-shifting -- the prior week's "Night Shift" increased by +31% in 18-49 going from L+SD to L+3 (1.31 to 1.71). In total viewers, "Night Shift" grew by 1.4 million persons (from 5.5 million to 6.9 million).
