Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers:
NBC: 13.28 million, Fox: 5.36, CBS: 4.14, ABC: 2.66, CW: 360,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 3.7 rating/24 share, CBS: 0.6/ 4, Fox: 0.5/ 3, ABC: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

Green Bay at San Francisco on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football”, of course, let the Peacock net to victory. Keeping in mind that all live events are approximate, the match-up scored an estimated 15.31 million viewers and a 4.4 rating/28 share in adults 18-49 in primetime.

On CBS, special “The Tony Awards: Broadway’s Back” scored a modest 2.65 million viewers (#2t) and a 0.4/ 2 in the demo (#3t) from 9-11 p.m. ET. Earlier in the evening on the Eye net was granddaddy “60 Minutes” (Viewers: #3, 7.12 million; A18-49: #3, 0.8/ 5 at 7 p.m.) into “Big Brother” (Viewers: #2, 4.15 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.9/ 5 at 8 p.m.). The two-hour season-finale of “Big Brother” airs this Wednesday beginning at 9 p.m. out of the already addictive new season of “Survivor.”

In season premiere news were ABC game shows “Wheel of Fortune” and “Supermarket Sweep” and crime solver “The Rookie” as follows:

ABC/Sunday
8:00 p.m. “Wheel of Fortune” (season premiere)
Viewers: 3.76 million (#3), A18-49: 0.4/ 2 (#4)

9:00 p.m. “Supermarket Sweep” (season premiere)
Viewers: 2.51 million (#3), A18-49: 0.4/ 2 (#3t)

10:00 p.m. “The Rookie” (season premiere)
Viewers: 2.80 million (#2), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#2t)

Note to the Daytime Emmy voters: Don’t forget about “Supermarket Sweep” host Leslie Jones next spring. She is outstanding!

Earlier in the evening on ABC was highlights of “Global Citizen Live” (Viewers: #4, 1.55 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 1 at 7 p.m.).

Elsewhere, Fox got a boost care of an NFL Football primetime overrun at an estimated 11.95 million viewers (#1) and a 3.2/21 in adults 18-49 (#1) in the Sunday 7 p.m. hour. But that did not do all that much to boost the season-opening fast affiliate levels of the network’s Sunday 8-10 p.m. animated sitcom block (which are all approximate, of course, as well).

Fox/Sunday
8:00 p.m. “The Simpsons” (season premiere)
Viewers: 3.33 million (#4), A18-49: 1.1/ 7 (#2)

8;30 p.m. “The Great North” (season premiere)
Viewers: 1.78 million (#4), A18-49: 0.7/ 4 (#3)

9:00 p.m. “Bob’s Burgers” (season premiere)
Viewers: 1.58 million (#4), A18-49: 0.6/ 4 (#2)

9:30 p.m. “Family Guy” (season premiere)
Viewers: 1.52 million (#4), A18-49: 0.6/ 4 (#2)

The CW. meanwhile, featured the season (or series) finale of “Wellington Paranormal” (Viewers: 208,000; A18-49: 0/ 0) in the Sunday 9 p.m. half-hour. You can’t get much lower that that!
