NBC's THIS IS US, THE VOICE & More Deliver Top-30 Rankings for the Week
By: Caryn Robbins Nov. 08, 2016
NBC has finished #2 for the primetime ratings week of Oct. 31-Nov. 6 in adults 18-49 and all other key demographics (including ties in adults 25-54 and men 25-54), behind only World Series-boosted Fox, according to "live plus same day" viewership figures from Nielsen Media Research.
NBC was paced by top-10 rankings in adults 18-49 for "Sunday Night Football" (tied for #2), Tuesday's "This Is Us" (#8) and Monday's "The Voice" (#10) among primetime shows on the Big 4 networks, excluding sports pre- and post-game shows. Joining that trio in the top 30 were Tuesday's "Chicago Fire" and "Voice" encore recap (both tied for #13), Thursday's "Chicago Med" (tied for #21) and Thursday's "The Good Place" (tied for #27). On that list, "Sunday Night Football" trailed only Wednesday's seventh and deciding game of the Chicago Cubs-Cleveland Indians WORLD SERIES on Fox. Season to date, NBC is tied for #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in adults 25-54 and is #1 outright in women 18-49 and women 25-54, while only trailing World Series-boosted FOX in every other key demographic. Counting only entertainment programming season to date (excluding live news and sports), NBC ranks #1 among the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and adults 18-34 (tie).Videos
