Sunday Final Nationals: ‘Sunday Night Football’ on NBC Grows Slightly Amidst Overall Down First NFL Sunday

It was all about NBC on the night with the Sunday season premiere of “Sunday Night Football” as the New York Giants visited the Dallas Cowboys. The game posted a Total Audience Delivery (TAD) of 24.5 million viewers – up +5 percent from last year’s “SNF” opener (23.3 million for Patriots-Cardinals).

Top markets for Giants-Cowboys on NBC were: Dallas 36.5/54; San Antonio 29.3/46; Austin 26.4/43; Richmond 23.4/35; Albuquerque 22.6/35; New Orleans 21.8/29; Norfolk 21.5/32; Denver 19.7/34; New York 19.3/30; Memphis 18.7/26.

With Hurricane Irma striking the state of Florida, the afternoon NFL games were way down from last year’s first Sunday — the early window was down 23 percent and Fox’s national late window was down 17 percent among viewers (22.8 million vs. 27.5 million). Cable news networks and The Weather Channel garnered larger-than-average ratings as a result.

For its series debut, Fox’s “The Orville” earned the best rating among males 18-34 (1.9) for an hourlong series premiere (not counting post Super Bowl hours) on television since “Gotham” on Fox in 2014.
