Preliminary Ratings: August 29, 2016

Another Monday, another win for NBC. the combo of AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR and RUNNING WILD push NBC to sweep the night. WARRIOR was the #1 show of the night, getting the most viewers and the top ratings in two of the three demographics. BACHELOR IN PARADISE won the A18-34 demo. RUNNING WILD was the top show of the 10 PM time slot, which does have very little competition. Retention of RUNNING WILD out of WRRIOR is roughy 60%.

BACHELOR IN PARADISE continues to steady in the ratings, remaining flat, week-to-week. MISTRESSES saw a small uptick in in total viewership and in the A25-54 demo, but was flat in the two younger demos.

An all-encore CBS and a new FOX Tuesday night were neck-and-neck, with both networks tying in the A18-34 and A18-49 demographics. CBS has the edge on total viewership and the older, A25-54 demo.
