Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 05/31/15

In a night where early 75% of the programs aired repeat episodes, NBC emerges at the top network, with an all-original line up. The network won the night in the three demographic rating categories and was second in total viewers, to CBS. Given the non-repeat night, NBC only tied ABC in the A18-34 demographic and was just one tenth of a point ahead of ABC in the A18-49.Only the A25-54 shows a clear leadership in the ratings.

FOX gave us the season premiere of GOLAN THE INSATIABLE, to low numbers. The animated series pretty much equaled an encore of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, despite having the better lead in program. FOX did win the night in the A18-34 demo.

CBS and ABC were repeat filled, but were relatively competitive with the encore lineups.
