Final Broadcast Ratings: March 1, 2016

For the second strait night, NBC sweeps the night, thanks to the return of THE VOICE, on Tuesday nights. The competition series hauled in another 12.3 million viewers and a 3.0 rating in Adults 18-49. THE VOICE is off roughly 10% from the previous night's season premiere numbers.

ABC had two season/series finales with THE MUPPETS and AGENT CARTER and neither of them did well. Both shows were 4th place in their respective time slots and failed to even draw three million viewers. THE MUPPETS has such huge potential for ABC/Disney, but poor execution of the concept killed the property, for TV, for many years to come.

Both NCIS series are down, week-to-week, but still put up competitive numbers. NCIS was still the most watched program and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS was #3 in total viewers.

FOX's comedy block is turning into quite the dud. Only NEW GIRL managed demo ratings over a 1.0 and none of the four could bring in three million viewers. The 9 PM shows failed to reach two million.
