Regarding this morning's Nielsens, remember that the fast-affiliate ratings that come in at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT are not time zone-adjusted and typically understate live NFL telecasts.
Despite that, NBC is currently #1 for the night among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in every key ratings category in the fast-affiliate ratings.
And NBC's 18-49 average for the night from 7-11 p.m. (subject to upward adjustment) is higher than any Sunday average for ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox since June 16, when ABC averaged a 5.0/16 with coverage of Game 5 of the NBA Finals
.
In metered-market household ratings, which are time zone-adjusted:
· The Dallas-Miami NFL Hall of Fame Game (6.7/12 in metered-market households) scored the #1 rating of the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.
· The game's 6.7 rating in metered-market households is the highest for a Sunday telecast on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox since June 16 with ABC's Game 5 of the NBA Finals (11.4).
· NBC's 5.6/10 for the night from 7-11 p.m. in metered-market households is the highest Sunday average for ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox since June 16, when ABC averaged a 9.2/17 with coverage of Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
· NBC's 5.6/10 for the night is the highest NBC Sunday average since January 27 with coverage of the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl (7.3/11).
