America's Got Talent helped NBC edge Hell's Kitchen powered Fox with a 2.6 overall adults 18-49 rating vs. Fox's 2.5 in a near mirror image of the overall results from last Tuesday.
Against all repeats at 8pm, Hell's Kitchen delivered a 3.2 rating /11 share among Adults 18-49 and 7.2 million viewers to crush the hour's competition in the demos. The repeats rolled in well behind: ABC's Crash Course (0.8/3/3.06m), CBS' NCIS (1.7/6/9.64m), NBC's America's Got Talent (1.5/5/6.29m), and CW's 90210 (0.5/2/1.19m).
From 9-11, NBC's America’s Got Talent ruled with a (3.2/9/12.45m). At 9, CBS's Big Brother 11 (2.6/7/8.06m) was up a tenth in the 18-49 demo and delivered its highest P2+ viewer average on any night for the cycle. Fox's More to Love posted a fairly typical (1.8/5/4.13m). ABC's Shaq Vs. (1.3/4/3.26m) was up two ticks in the demo from last week. CW's second 90210 repeat did a (0.4/1/1.75m)
At 10pm, ABC's Primetime: The Outsiders (1.2/3/3.54m) was about average, and CBS's NCIS repeat delivered a (1.5/4/7.10m).

Definitions:
*Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs which are currently in approximately 24.4% of all U.S. TV households. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

…Are these numbers correct? 12 million for a NCIS repeat, 12 million for the AGT repeat with a 1.5 in the demo…something looks fishy. o.O
Charles, in the case of fishy numbers the fingers of the fisherman are almost always at fault in my case. Those AGT repeat NCIS viewer numbers were both wrong and are now corrected.
NCIS’s 10pm repeat got 7.09m and AGT’s repeat got 6.22m.
Good to see AGT bounce back over 12m, and I think we’ll be seeing an all-time high for its finale in two weeks. Is the finale the usual two hours on Tuesday/one hour on Wednesday, or have NBC extended any of it?
I was scanning the TV and spotted an NBC promo that over 100,000 million viewers tune into America’s Got Talent with the number “100,000 million” on the screen…how are they spinning those numbers…even American Idol does not claim that for their show??!!!
oops – I mean…100 million
RG, my quick answer is that 100 million has to be the estimated total number of people who’ve viewed any portion of AGT this summer.
Unfortunately, we never see any kind of regular cumulative data like that, although I’m sure that paying Nielsen customers (like NBC) get them, so I can’t judge their veracity, but its highly unlikely that there isn’t a basis for it in some Nielsen number somewhere.
90210 and Melrose Place premiere next Tuesday. I think they will premiere high considering all the promotion the CW has done.
Good ratings for 90210! I watched both repeats last night. I too think that 90210 and Melrose Place will premiere high!
With the CW’s average of 1.18 is very stange considering episode 1 had 1.19 and episode 2 had 1.75.
Also, I think that the Daytime Emmys gave the CW a boast- they were getting under a million for some days last week.
Fairly decent ratings for a two hour rerun for 90210. Melrose Place might debut good next week, it could probably get a 2.0 demo.
