Wednesday Ratings: ‘AGT’ Season-Ender on NBC Down but Still Dominant

WEDNESDAY FAST AFFILIATE RATINGS

Wednesday 9/15/21 Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers:
NBC: 4.86 million, ABC: 2.67, Fox: 2.39, CBS: 2.22, CW: 457,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.6 rating/5 share, Fox: 0.5/ 4, ABC and CBS: 0.4/ 3 each, CW: 0.1/ 1

The live results show on the season finale of “America’s Got Talent” led NBC to midweek victory, with an average 6.13 million viewers and a 0.7 rating/6 share among adults 18-49 from 9-11 pm. While any dominance is certainly positive, ratings for “AGT” are a shell of what it once was. Thankfully, the most worthy finalist won: magician Dustin Tavella.

Leading into the “AGT” season-ender was a Wednesday 8 p.m. ET edition of “Family Game Fight” at 2.31 million viewers (#4) and a 0.4/ 3 in adults 18-49 (#4).

In other season finale news, ABC game shows “Press Your Luck” (Viewers: #2, 3.56 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.5/ 4 at 8 p.m.) and “The $100,000 Pyramid” (Viewers: #2, 2.87 million; A18-49: #3, 0.4/ 3 at 9 p.m.) were at typical fast affiliate levels. Fox’s veteran “Masterchef” ended its season with a two-hour telecast, also nothing unusual. See the network averages above. And two episodes of CBS summer dud “House Calls with Dr. Phil” ended what is probably its series run with an average 1.36 million viewers (#4) and a 0.2/ 1 in the demo (#4) from 9-11 p.m. Stick to daytime, Dr. Phil!

Elsewhere, CBS summer mainstay “Big Brother” won the Wednesday 8 p.m. hour with 3.94 million viewers and a 0.8/ 7 in adults 18-49 at 8 p.m. A special edition of ABC newsmagazine “20/20” (Amanda Gorman: Brave Enough) averaged 1.58 million viewers (#2) and a 0.2/ 2 in the demo (#2). “Riverdale” on The CW was buried in last place with 480,000 viewers and a 0.1/ 1 in adults 18-49. And the remainder of the evening were repeats.
