CBS and ESPN each had a share of Friday night victory. CBS led among total viewers (7.95 million) while ESPN was the night’s No. 1 network among all key demos including adults 18-49 (an approximate 1.6 rating), adults 18-34 (an approximate 1.5 rating), and adults 25-54 (approximately, a 1.7 rating) with an NBA Playoff doubleheader: East Semifinal Game 3: Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks followed by West Semifinal Game 3: San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder.
An encore of the hit concert special “Adele Live in New York City”, which featured several songs added to the original November 2015 telecast, generated the largest total audience in the 8-9:30 p.m. Friday night slot for NBC since May 15, 2015.
