OK, so maybe not L.A.’s Finest. On Monday, Fox fell below both Univision and Telemundo in ratings among adults 18-49, airing “L.A.’s Finest” and “Cosmos: Possible Worlds.”
To be fair to Fox, both of its shows have previously aired elsewhere: “L.A.’s Finest” on Spectrum and “Cosmos” on National Geographic — but Fox’s broadcast network is the far-larger platform in both cases.
Atop the Nielsen sheets last night was NBC, with its “The Voice” Season 19 performance finale. ABC and “The Bachelorette” were the evening’s runners-up.
NBC was first in ratings with a 0.9 rating/5 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 6.3 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Voice” from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. drew a 1.0/6 and 7.6 million viewers. “Nurses” at 10 received a 0.6/4 and 3.7 million viewers.
We’ll get a winner of “The Voice” Season 19 on tonight’s finale-finale.
ABC was second in ratings with a 0.8/4 and third in viewers with 3.2 million. “The Bachelorette” from 8 to 10 averaged a 1.0/6 and 3.9 million viewers. A “20/20” special at 10, “The Shot: Race for the Vaccine,” had a 0.4/2 and 1.8 million viewers.
