NBC Rules Tuesday Night With ‘America’s Got Talent,’ ‘World Of Dance’ Impressive Ratings

NBC’s Tuesday night programming has been solid for the past five weeks!

Since their premiere, “America’s Got Talent” Season 12 and “World of Dance” Season 1 have both been receiving impressive ratings. According to Variety, the fifth episode of the “America’s Got Talent” Season 12 garnered a total of 12.1 million viewers and a 2.5 rating among audiences aged 18 to 49.

“World of Dance” aired the second part of its duels on Tuesday night with a slight increase in viewership compared to last week’s episode. Episode 5 drew in a total of 7.7 million viewers and a 1.8 rating. Last week, “World of Dance” garnered 7.6 million viewers and a 1.8 rating.

Unfortunately, the success of NBC’s Tuesday night programming meant much lower audience share for shows that aired on other networks between 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT. For instance, ABC’s “The Bachelorette” only earned a total of 4.8 million viewers and a 1.4 demo rating. The final two episodes of “Downward Dog” only received 2.2 million and a 0.5 rating and 1.8 million and a 0.4 rating, respectively.

A similar thing happened to The CW when they aired the final episode of “iZombie.” The series did not even reach one million viewers and closed with only 840,000 and a 0.3 rating. Overall, NBC topped the Tuesday night programming with a total of 10.7 million viewers and a 2.2 demo rating. ABC came in second with 3.8 million viewers and a 1.0 demo rating, according to Deadline.

Meanwhile, “America’s Got Talent” Season 12 will continue to air auditions next Tuesday, July 4. There were reports earlier this month suggesting that the late Brandon Rogers’ audition will be featured in the show next week. “World of Dance” will also continue its third round of duels before heading to the cuts in two weeks’ time.

“America’s Got Talent” Season 12 is hosted by Tyra Banks. Judges featured on the show include Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel. “World of Dance” Season 1 is hosted by Jenna Dewan Tatum. Judges for the dance reality competition are Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo.
