A rebroadcast of "American Ninja Warrior" (0.7/2 in 18-49, 2.4 million viewers overall from 9-11 p.m. ET) grew from its first half-hour to its fourth by +80% in adult 18-49 rating (0.5 to 0.9), +67% in adults 25-54 (0.6 to 1.0) and +56% or 1.0 million persons in total viewers (1.8 million to 2.8 million).

A second telecast of "Welcome to Sweden" (0.2/1 in 18-49, 1.1 million viewers overall from 8:30-9 p.m. ET) declined versus lead-in in adults 18-49 but retained its full lead-in rating in both men and women 18-49 and adults, men and women 18-34.
