Thursday Results (local NFL preemptions on all major networks and some inconsistent start times across time zones):
· Pending updates, at 8 p.m. ET, an encore telecast of “The Office” averaged a 1.1/4 in 18-49 and 3.8 million viewers overall, and at 8:30, a rebroadcast of “Parks and Recreation” delivered a 1.0/3 in 18-49 and 3.1 million viewers overall. Though these preliminary fast-affiliate ratings are likely inflated by local NFL coverage, they currently represent summer highs for both shows.
· Pending updates, at 9 p.m. ET, “Saving Hope” is currently averaging a 1.1/3 in 18-49 and 4.1 million viewers overall. Though these preliminary fast-affiliate ratings are likely inflated by local NFL coverage, “Saving Hope” is currently reporting its top results of the summer.
