“American Ninja Warrior” put up a strong Monday night versus CBS reruns, as NBC comfortably topped its competition outright.
ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise” managed to rise 15 percent from its premiere this time around in the key 18-49 demographic. The network’s “The Whispers” fell, however, while CW’s “Penn & Teller” and “Whose Line?” both ticked up one-tenth of a ratings point.
NBC was first in ratings with a 1.8 rating/6 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 6 million, according to preliminary numbers. “American Ninja Warrior” at 8 p.m. earned a 2.0/7 and 7 million viewers.
