Without any live sports, primetime broadcast TV simmered down on Tuesday. “America’s Got Talent,” which aired another round of auditions from 8 to 10, took the top spot with a 0.76 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, and 6.2 million total viewers.
NBC’s new viral dance competition “Dancing With Myself” couldn’t keep up the momentum, slipping to a 0.34 rating and 2.1 million total viewers.
ABC also aired a slate of competition series to a humdrum 0.33 in the demo and an average of 2.4 million viewers.
CBS hasn’t teed up most of its summer slate yet, so it opted for reruns of “FBI.” That didn’t turn out to be such a bad move, considering the network averaged a 0.27 in the demo, as well as 3.4 million total viewers — the second-highest viewership average of the night.
