A steady "The Voice" carried NBC to a win in the key demographic Tuesday, as CBS won in total viewers — even though two of its three shows were repeats — according to preliminary numbers. ABC's new diving competition "Splash," meanwhile, sunk to a new low.

NBC won the 18-49 demo with a 2.4 rating/7 share and landed third in total viewers, averaging 6.8 million. At 8 p.m., "The Voice" scored a 4.5/14, even with last Tuesday's episode and matching its Tuesday season high. It had 13.8 million total viewers, making it the most-watched show of the night. From 9-11, the new reality competition "Ready for Love" had a 1.3/4 and 3.4 million, dragging down NBC's averages. It was down 13 percent in the key demo from last week's premiere.
