Monday night ratings are coming in. It looks like the Dancing With The Stars premiere had more viewers watching overall, but The Voice did better in the 18-49 demo.
-Ratings Breakdown:
On your mark, get set, go! It is the official start of the new TV season. Led by the two-hour season premiere of Dancing With the Stars, ABC won this first night of 2012-13 in the overnights. But the Monday tide has turned courtesy of The Voice, which is poised to lead NBC to victory among adults 18-49. Opposite The Voice, dominant Dancing With the Stars, featuring its first-ever all-star edition, dipped by 24 percent from the year-ago season-opener with a 10.4 rating/15 share from 8-10 p.m. (versus a 13.6/20 on 9/19/11). While Dancing With the Stars still managed to win in the overnights for the evening, the double-digit percent loss is concerning.Dancing With the Stars led into the fifth season-premiere of older skewing Castle at a 7.4/12 in the overnights at 10 p.m., which versus the year-ago opener (9.2/15 on 9/19/11) was down by 20 percent. Castle, of course, is dependent on the lead-in support from Dancing With the Stars. If Dancing is down, so is Castle.
The Voice on NBC, meanwhile, finished a solid second behind Dancing With the Stars with an 8.2/12 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. And that, comparably, built by a whopping 134 percent from a two-hour edition of former time period occupant The Sing Off on the year-ago opening Monday (3.5/ 5 on 9/19/11). Needless to say, it was the right decision for NBC to air a fall edition of The Voice.
NBC was #1 with adults 18-49, but ABC won with total viewers
On NBC, The Voice scored a 4.3 adults 18-49 rating, down considerably from last week’s 4.7 18-49 rating. Your guesses about it being the highest-rated show of the night were still spot on though. Revolution garnered a 3.5, also down sharply from last week’s 4.1 18-49 rating, though this is not an unexpected drop post premiere and NBC has to be pretty happy about it considering it faced original scripted competition on ABC & CBS this week. Your predictions were about right.
On ABC, the premiere of Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars garnered a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating, down from its 14th season premiere, which earned a 3.5 adults 18-49 rating.
