The nightly averages below do not include the Presidential Debate from 9:00-10:30 pm ET — since it ran commercial-free (or “sustaining”) those 90 minutes will make it into the nightly, weekly or season averages.

ABC languished with a 2.2 for The Middle and 2.0 for The Neighbors. The debate itself scored a 3.0, like CBS, but alas they will get no credit for those numbers. The ABC News analysis at 10:30, which did have commercials, scored a 2.2 rating.

NBC aired Animal Practice (1.5) and Guys with Kids (1.8), but its highest-rated program that will count is the 2.5 for the NBC News analysis of the Debate. NBC’s coverage of the Debate itself scored a 3.4 (tying X Factor as the biggest draw on any network) but will vanish in the official nationals.
