“Big Brother” delivered steady ratings Sunday, easily winning the night among adults 18-49 on broadcast, while several other shows slipped a bit.
CBS led the night in the 18-49 demo thanks to “Big Brother’s” 1.8 rating, which was even with last week. “Candy Crush,” however, fell in its second week, dropping three tenths of a point to 0.8.
That was the biggest fall opposite the “Game of Thrones” premiere (whose ratings will be out Tuesday morning) on HBO. “Steve Harvey’s Funderdome” (0.8) was off a tenth week to week for ABC, while “American Grit” (0.4) on FOX and an “American Ninja Warrior” rerun (0.7) on NBC held steady.
“Celebrity Family Feud” (1.1, -0.2) and “The $100,000 Pyramid” (0.8, -0.1) also declined vs. a week earlier. “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly” drew a 0.4 for NBC, even with last week’s fast nationals (it adjusted up in the finals).

Definitions:
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.
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings are available at approximately 11 a.m. ET the day after telecast. 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.
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.
Time Shifted Viewing: Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live +Same-Day and Live +7 Day. Time-shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live +7 ratings include viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.
