Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 04/01/2018

NBC barely tops ABC to win the Sunday night ratings, as the latest LIVE musical production, JEASUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, produces relatively soft numbers. This past December, FOX scored a 1.5 for A CHRISTMAS STORY, and NBC's live production, HAIRSPRAY, in December 2016, produced a 2.3 demo and drew over nine million viewers.

AMERICAN IDOL stayed on pace with JCS: LIVE, matching it in the A18-49 demographic and in the A25-54 demographic.

CBS, with no sports lead in, was back to its usual Sunday night ratings, doing well in total viewership, but the younger demos, placed it fourth on the night.
