Sunday Final Nationals: NBC Scores Second Most-Watched Golden Globes in a Decade

With a 58-minute overrun of the NFC Wild Card matchup between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers in prime time, Fox was the top network on Sunday night. At 39.35 million viewers (and a 21.3 household rating), the playoff game on Fox was the fourth most-watched NFL Wild Card game to-date.

NBC was a close runner-up in prime time with the “74th Annual Golden Globe Awards” hosted by Jimmy Fallon. The ceremony is up 1.5 million viewers or +8 percent year to year in total viewers (20.015 million vs. 18.511 million on Jan. 10, 2016) and up +2 percent versus last year in 18-49 (5.6 vs. 5.5).

It ranks as the second most-watched “Golden Globes” in 10 years in the metered markets, finishing since 2007 (20.036) behind only the 20.874 million in 2014. It’s also only the third “Golden Globes” telecast since 2004 to top 20 million viewers.

“74th Golden Globes” is the top non-sports primetime telecast on the Big 4 networks in both 18-49 and total viewers since the February 2016 Academy Awards and delivered NBC’s best non-sports results in the slot in nearly two years in 18-49 and total viewers, since the Feb. 15, 2015 “SNL 40” special (7.8 in 18-49, 23.1 million viewers overall).

The ceremony delivered over the last five years the event’s five top results in total viewers since 2007 as well as matched or beaten every Golden Globe 18-49 rating for the five years preceding that (2008-2012).

Among teens 12-17, the 2017 “Golden Globes” are up +29 percent versus last year (2.2 vs. 1.7).

Half-hour breakdowns for “74th Annual Golden Globe Awards” in household rating/share and total viewers (adults 18-34, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 rating/share), were as follows:

8:00 11.8/19, 20.184 million (4.2/16, 5.5/17, 6.6/17)
