NBC just wrapped another 52-week season No. 1 in ratings — but will it continue its winning streak next week, when the 2019-20 broadcast TV season kicks off?
If recent history is any indication, with seven-straight top finishes (one was a tie) for Fall TV premiere week under its belt, NBC should seem like a lock to draw the most adults ages 18-49. But channel chiefs Paul Telegdy and George Cheeks should keep that cork in the champagne bottle — for now.
After all, NBC isn’t the only network that shells out a ton of money for NFL rights. “The Voice” home also is not the only one with hit entertainment programming on its late September schedule either.
