Due to the nature of live sports programming the ratings for CBS (US Open Overrun) are approximate and subject to more than the typical adjustments in the final numbers. See below for more information on these Fast Affiliate Ratings.
Note: Both of last night’s Monday Night Football games were simulcast on the CBS affiliate in the teams’ local markets (Baltimore, Cincinnati, Oakland and San Diego). As a result, CBS numbers may be a bit inflated and subject to more than typical adjustments in the finals.
NBC was #1 with adults 18-49 and total viewers
On NBC, the two-hour premiere of The Voice scored a 4.1 adults 18-49 rating, down -39% from last season's time period premiere on Monday 2/6/12 (6.7/17) and is its lowest-rated premiere. The premiere of The New Normal garnered a 2.5 18-49 rating. Your predictions were about right.
On FOX, the finale of Hell's Kitchen earned a 2.5, down a tenth from last week's 2.6 rating. The finale of MasterChef was also down a tenth, earning a 2.6 after last week's 2.7 adults 18-49 rating

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. 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.

lol
NBC is a disaster…REVOLUTION will flop
Oh wow. I was too confident with 5++ #ouch
Did the Voice have any overrun or did the New Normal start on time?
Good for The Voice
No surprises here. Only for fools maybe.
Im just tired of singing shows.. Wanna see something new.
I guessed 4.5 so I was pretty close. That is not good for the new normal.
Bad numbers for The Voice for a premiere. Remember it faced no competition from ABC and CBS. These numbers will drop a lot as the season wears on.
So i was right
Bad for NBC!
NBC is in already in trouble and the season has yet to start. Ouch about getting a kick start on the new fall season two weeks early.
Ok, i’ll come up with an excuse. It was up against Hell’s kitchen and Masterchef finale. Hahaha…
Everybody is waiting for X-Factor and Britney Spears!
x
errm ofcourse it was guna premier down, last season it had the super bowl as a lead out. its not bad considering that the numbers that idol was averaging at towards the season. i was right about the new normal.
The Voice was never going to match its day after the Super Bowl airing. It did pretty good though.
Not great but not terrible for New Normal. We’ll see how much of this audience tranfers over to tonights airing. Grimm would not have done any better than a 2.5.
I said 4.0, I was so right. X-Factor will get 6.0.+
People are already tired of The Voice; meanwhile A.I might get a bump this year (at least in the beginning) as people tune in to the new panel.
If The New Normal can keep above a 1.7 (shocking that the bar is *that* low), it should be safe. The Voice is too overexposed now.
Poor NBC
The New Normal is a failure
I can’t wait to see what people who are saying about The Voice got good numbers say in two or three weeks. Once CBS airs its sitcoms and DWTS airs this show will barely crack the low 3′s. Not good.
