Ratings: NBC Scores Total Viewer Victory Over ABC Despite ‘DWTS’

It didn’t hurt that ”Taken“ faced a ”Scorpion“ rerun on CBS

| March 28, 2017 @ 8:48 AM

NBC won Monday outright, even with a new “Dancing With the Stars” episode over on ABC.

Of course, NBC wasn’t without its own ammo: “The Voice” carried the broadcaster to a pretty comfortable victory in the key 18-49 demographic. It was “Taken’s” outright win at 10 p.m. that sealed primetime for NBC, however. The TV adaptation grew from last week, thanks at least in part to CBS airing a rerun of “Scorpion” this week.

NBC was first among the English-language broadcasters in ratings with a 1.9 rating/7 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 8.6 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Voice” at 8 scored a 2.3/8 and 10.3 million viewers. “Taken” at 10 posted a 1.1/4 and 5.2 million viewers.
