NBC is the network sweeping the nation — at least in November.
With 25 of the 28 nights reported, NBC has won its third straight November sweep in the advertiser-sought 18-49 demographic, mostly thanks to “Sunday Night Football,” “The Voice” and “The Blacklist.”
The network also counted results for “Chicago Fire” and “Grimm” among its highlights, but the Sunday evening NFL games have consistently been the top broadcast TV series for the past few years.
NBC also got a nice Nielsen boost from the “Fire,” “Chicago P.D” and “Law & Order: SVU” crossover mid-month.
From Oct. 30 through Nov. 23, NBC averaged a 2.3 rating, besting second-place ABC (2.0) by three-tenths of a ratings point. CBS was third in the key demo with a 1.8; Fox was a distant fourth with a 1.3 rating.
In total viewers, CBS finished first, pulling in 9.7 million. NBC was second with 8.2 million, ABC was third with 7.7 million. There, Fox was far off again, sitting in fourth place with 3.8 million viewers.
CBS has topped November in total viewers for 14 straight years.
