Monday Final Nationals: ‘The Bachelor’ Season Premiere Delivers ABC’s Season-Best Monday 8-10 p.m. Adults 18-49 Figures

CBS won the first Monday evening of the 2016 calendar year among total viewers (10.3 million), adults 18-49 (1.9 rating/6 share) and adults 25-54 (2.6/7).

ABC was tops among adults 18-34 (1.7/6), thanks to the 20th season premiere of “The Bachelor” with Ben Higgins. It was Monday’s #1 TV show in with adults 18-49, adults 18-34 and across all key Women.

It ranked #1 in each half-hour from 8-10pm, and won its slot by +10 percent over its closest competition (CBS’ Supergirl/Scorpion) in adults 18-49 with a season high in that demo for ABC in the 2-hour time period.

Among adults 18-49, NBC’s new comedy “Superstore” scored the network’s best regular-slot comedy premiere, excluding nights with “Voice” on the schedule, since the fall of 2013 (“The Michael J. Fox Show” on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013, 2.2). It retained 90 percent of its Nov. 30 preview in 18-49 (1.8 vs. 2.0), which benefited from a well-rated “Voice” lead-in (2.9 from 9:30-10 p.m.).
