Jul 2, 2014  •  Post A Comment

Even in a week when its ratings leader "America's Got Talent" was in repeats, NBC chalked up a win for the week of June 23-29 among the big four broadcast networks in the key demo of viewers 18-49.

Citing Nielsen "live plus same day" figures, NBC announced that it leads the year-to-date rankings in 18-49 for the 2013-14 season through week 40 of the season for the first time in 10 years. The network noted that its numbers are up 13% from a year ago.

CBS won the week in total viewers, and continues to lead year-to-date in that category.

NBC's Tuesday rebroadcast of "Talent" was the No. 3 prime-time show of the week in 18-49 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, and the No. 1 show of the night among the big four in every key demo. The network noted that it was the most-watched "Talent" encore in three years.
