Monday Final Nationals: NBC and ESPN Share Leadership on Holiday Night

On this Labor Day Monday night, NBC won among the Big 4 networks in total viewers (5.17 million).

The final game of college football’s opening weekend of the 2017 regular season, Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech (5.27 million viewers on TV and streaming), lifted ESPN to lead television in all prime time key adult demos — a trend that will likely continue for the network for the next three months with NFL’s “Monday Night Football” beginning Sept. 11.
