Final Broadcast Ratings: August 24, 2015

The four networks battled it out on a down Monday night in the ratings, as no one network could grab anything over five million viewers or a mid-one in the A18-49 ratings. ABC was tops in the A18-34 demographic and tied NBC in the A18049 demo. NBC was the best in the A25054 demographic, while CBS grabbed the most viewers.

BACHELOR IN PARADISE was the top show of the evening, grabbing the most viewers and the top demo numbers. The third edition of the franchise is starting to heat up in the ratings, rising a half a point in the A18-49 demo, over the last few weeks.

AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR was in a "recap" episode, so its numbers were off, considerably. And as ANW goes, so goes RUNNING WILD as its numbers dropped significantly, wee-to-week.

The CW looks to have been hit with sports preemptions, as PENN & TELLER: FOOL US lost about 15% in total viewers, from last week's total.
