TV Ratings: 'NBC Sunday Night Football' Claims Tuesday Victory

NBC Sunday Night FootballNBC Sunday Night Football didn’t only manage Tuesday victory in both age categories but also racked up the highest ratings on a Tuesday so far this season.

The Minnesota Vikings/Philadelphia Eagles match-up, which has been rescheduled to Tuesday due to a blizzard, averaged 21.54 million viewers and a 7.3 rating/20 share among adults 18-49. But keep in mind: Ratings for sports broadcasts are always approximate.

Second-placed CBS opened the evening with a repeat of NCIS (10.59 million viewers; A18-49: 2.0/6). Next was Kennedy Center Honors at a respectable 9.38 million viewers but a disappointing 1.5/4 in the demo.

FOX placed third in total viewers and adults 18-49 with back-to-back repeats of Glee (4.04 million viewers; A18-49: 1.3/4) while ABC got fourth place airing repeats of Rudolph’s Shiny New Year (3.99 million viewers; A18-49: 1.2/3), No Ordinary Family (3.37 million viewers; A18-49: 0.9/2) and Detroit 1-8-7 (3.46 million viewers; A18-49: 0.8/2).

The CW ranked fifth and last in both age categories with repeats of One Tree Hill (0.93 million viewers; A18-49: 0.3/1) and Life Unexpected (0.70 million viewers; A18-49: 0.3/1).
