Despite a slight dip in the ratings, "America's Got Talent" took the night's top slot on Tuesday, propelling NBC to win the night, according to preliminary numbers.

"Talent," on NBC from 9 to 11 p.m., had a 3 percent decrease from last Tuesday, taking a 3.0 rating/8 share in the adults 18-49 demographic. But it easily took the night's top slot, grabbing 10.8 million viewers in the process. "It's Worth What?" at 8 registered a 9 percent increase over last week with a 1.2/4 in the demo and 4.4 million total viewers. Combined, the series gave NBC an overall win for the evening with an average 2.4/7 in the demo and average 8.7 million total viewers.

ABC began its night with a "Wipeout" repeat at 8, followed by "Take the Money & Run" at 9, which was down 6 percent compared to last week with a 1.5/4 in the demo and 3.9 million total viewers. "Combat Hospital" at 10 was down 10 percent with a 0.9/3 in the demo and 3.3 million total viewers.

Fox and CBS ran repeats throughout the evening.
