Tuesday Final Nationals: ABC Delivers Its Best Non-Sports Tuesday Numbers in Twelve Months

The 2-hour 21st season finale of “Dancing with the Stars” (Women 18-34: 2.4/9; Men 18-34: 1.1/5; Women 18-49: 3.2/10; Men 18-49: 1.5/5) — not surprisingly, scoring season-best numbers for the dance competition — along with the classic “Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” (Women 18-34: 1.6/6; Men 18-34: 1.1/5; Women 18-49: 2.6/8; Men 18-49: 1.8/7) special that preceded it propelled ABC to win the final Tuesday of this November in prime time among key demographics. Not counting sports programming, it was ABC’s best Tuesday night in total viewers and adults 18-49 since Nov. 25, 2014 –the night of the DWTS season 19 finale. (If factoring sports, Games 3 and 6 of the 2015 NBA Finals from June had given ABC higher Tuesday figures).
