“The Voice” is #2 and #3 for the week among entertainment telecasts on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, behind only CBS’s “Big Bang Theory” (excludes NCAA basketball coverage), and “The Voice” was the week’s #1 overall telecast on those networks in women 18-34, women 18-49, teens 12-17 and kids 2-11.
Last week’s two editions of the “The Voice” (4.7 on Monday, 4.5 on Tuesday) convincingly out-rated Fox’s “American Idol” in 18-49 (3.1 on Wednesday, 2.9 on Thursday). In total viewers, “The Voice” (13.3 million on Monday, 13.9 million on Tuesday) also topped “Idol” (11.8 million on Wednesday, 11.7 million on Thursday).
NBC is tied for #2 for the week in 18-49 and tied for #1 among women 18-34.
The 1.7 for the week is NBC’s highest 18-49 average in 10 weeks, since January 21-27, when NBC also scored a 1.7. NBC last generated a higher rating during the week of January 7-13 with a 2.2.
