Tuesday Final Nationals: 'American Horror Story' Season Premiere on FX at Five-Year Viewer Low but Still Dominates Cable

With “America’s Got Talent” and “Hollywood Game Night”, NBC topped Tuesday night, by far, among total viewers (10.35 million), adults 18-49 (2.1 rating/8 share), adults 18-34 (1.3/7) and adults 25-54 (2.7/9).

Although the sixth season premiere of FX’s “American Horror Story” (3.933 million viewers) — its season labeled “Cult” — drew, according to live plus same day data, its least-watched season premiere in five years and its lowest-rated season premiere among adults 18-49 in six years (since its very first season), the telecast was cable’s most-watched in prime time and was television’s highest rated program on Tuesday night among adults 18-34 (2.17 rating) and second-highest among adults 18-49 (2.02 rating) and adults 25-54 (1.75 rating).
