Preliminary Ratings: Monday 12/05/2016

NBC wins the Monday night ratings, but it does not sweep them, as they usually do on the night. CBS' annual VICTORIA SECRETS FASHION SHOW lead the way for CBS to win the A18-34 demographic, by posting a strong 2.2 rating in the younger category. That is a full point better than THE VOICE, which was #2 in the category. The VSFS tied for #1 in the A18-49 demographic and was second in the A25-54 demo. Last year, the show posted a 2.7 in the A18-34 demo and a 2.3 rating in the A18-49 demo. in 2013, the VSFS posted a 3.4 in the A18-49 demographic.

THE VOICE was the night's most watched show, grabbing 10 million viewers and #1 in the A25-54 demo, with a solid 2.9 rating. TIMELESS easily tops CONVICTION for second place in the 10 PM hour.

ABC premiered season four of the GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT, drawing 6.1 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in the A18-49 demo. That is up over last year's 5.1 million viewers and 1.2 demo rating.

FOX stayed mostly even, week-to-week, as SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO brought in 3.8 million viewers and a 1.1 demo rating.

ESPN Monday Night Football aired locally on ABC in Indianapolis and in New York City. This may cause significant losses in the final numbers for ABC
