Preliminary Ratings: Monday 06/22/15

ABC edged out NBC for the Monday night win in the ratings. THE BACHELORETTE's strength in younger viewers, over AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR, was the big difference between the two networks. The reality series also posted its best numbers since the season premiere.

With last week off, AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR and THE ISLAND both lost ground in the ratings. ANW was down 900,000 viewers and over 10% in the A18-49 and A25-54 demographics, from the last episode, two weeks earlier.

FOX and CBS battled for third place, with CBS airing all encores and FOX with a new episode of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. CBS takes the older viewers, while FOX the younger viewers.
