Fast Demo 2017 Sep 10.SUN

NBC:  The preliminary rating for the season premiere of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was 8.0, up half a point from last year’s early number for the premiere (which adjusted up to 8.4 in finals).  This year, though, NBC and the NFL stacked the deck a bit by featuring Dallas vs the NY Giants, two of the biggest national names in football.  (2016’s game was New England vs. Arizona.)

FOX:  THE ORVILLE’s opening number was solid at 2.3, but that was with a football lead-in of 5.9/4.2 that it will never see in its regular Thursday slot.  THE ORVILLE also sank from 2.6 to 2.1 in the course of its hour.  Afterwards, animated reruns were at 1.0/0.8.

ABC:  The MISS AMERICA PAGEANT was at 1.2, down 0.1 from 2016.  The night began with reruns at 1.0/1.0.

CBS:  60 MINUTES, boosted by a widely publicized interview with Steve Bannon, jumped 0.4 to 1.1.  BIG BROTHER was up 0.2 from last Sunday to 1.9.  Reruns followed at 0.6/0.5.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
