Preliminary Ratings: Monday 07/17/2017

NBC continues to be top dog on Monday nights, taking three of the four ratings categories. AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR did take second place in the 8 to 10 PM time slot, edged out by THE BACHELORETTE. NBC's win came in the back of SPARTAN as it dominated the 10 PM hour, despite losing a third of its lead in numbers.

ABC had the nights #1 program, with THE BACHELORETTE drawing 6.1 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in Adults 18-49 and a solid 1.3 rating in the younger, A18-34 demographic.

CBS' all-encore night was just a hair better than FOX's all-original night, with the CBS placing third in total viewers, and the two older demo categories.
