Sunday Final Nationals: ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Sampled by 9.5 Million Viewers on CBS

Project Total Audience is Expected to Be Over 15 Million Viewers

NBC led the final night of the 2016-17 season with the Oakland Raiders at the Washington Redskins on “Sunday Night Football”.

With the late afternoon window of NFL coverage, featuring Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers to most of the country, airing 44 minutes into prime time, CBS was a close runner-up to NBC on Sunday.

The broadcast premiere/preview of the long-awaited “Star Trek: Discovery” was sampled by 9.49 million viewers, based on the Live + Same Day data from Nielsen from 8:48-9:53 p.m. ET. CBS Research projects the latest series in the “Star Trek” franchise to increase to more than 15 million viewers with 7-day delayed viewing, and an additional 5 to 10 percent with live +35 day viewing.

Future episodes will air exclusively on CBS All Access, which rose to its highest subscriber sign up day, week and month ever as a result of “Star Trek: Discovery.”

In total viewers, it outdrew the debut telecast of Fox’s hourlong space program “The Orville” from Sep. 10 (9.49 million vs. 8.56 million).
