Preliminary Ratings: Monday 07/25/2016

ABC beat out NBC for the Monday night win, as THE BACHELORETTE was the #1 show of the night. The dating reality series hauled in 6.6 million viewers and a 2.3 rating in Adults 25-54. That is on par with the previous week's ratings. ABC's coverage of the Democratic National Convention was the best of the three broadcast networks and about a 20% improvement over last week's coverage of the Republican Convention.

AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR saw about a 10% drop in the demos, from last week, but only a slight drop in total viewers. It too saw gains in the younger demographics for its coverage of the DNC.

FOX topped CBS for the third place spot of the night, topping it in the two younger demographic categories and tying CBS in the A25-54 demo. CBS was mostly flat, week-to-week, with its 10PM convention coverage.
