“America’s Got Talent” was once again America’s Tuesday sweetheart, carrying NBC to an easy win in both the all-important adults 18-49 range and total viewers, according to overnight numbers from Nielsen. However, the program has seen better primetimes than last night’s, which took a little hit in both measures.
Meanwhile, ABC came in second place in the key demo thanks to another steady “Bachelor in Paradise,” but lost the runner-up trophy in viewers to CBS, a network that only aired encores.
NBC was first in ratings with a 1.5 rating/7 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 8.4 million, according to preliminary numbers. At 8 p.m., “America’s Got Talent” scored a 1.8/8 and 10.6 million viewers. At 10, “Making It” drew a 0.8/4 and 4 million viewers.
ABC was second in ratings with a 0.9/4 and third in viewers with 3.6 million. From 8-10, “Bachelor in Paradise” landed a 1.1/5 and 4.1 million viewers. “Castaways” at 10 settled for a 0.5/3 and 2.4 million viewers.
