NBC has moved the show from Tuesdays and Wednesdays to Mondays and Tuesdays this season. It wasn’t a great start for the competition. Compared to last year’s season premiere, NBC was down by 16% in the demo (vs a 4.3) and down by 33% in viewership (vs 15.28 million). Still, these numbers are quite good when compared to the rest of NBC’s programming.


Reference point: Last season, the first night of episodes averaged a 3.5 in the demo with 13.67 million.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
