ABC's BACHELOR IN PARADISE and SOMEWHERE BETWEEN Build to Tuesday Highs

With "Bachelor in Paradise," back-to-back repeats of "black-ish" and "Somewhere Between," ABC delivered the No. 2 network position on Tuesday night in Adults 18-49 (0.7/3) to an "America's Got Talent"-led NBC. Coming in behind only "America's Got Talent" on the evening, ABC's "Bachelor in Paradise" stood as Tuesday's No. 2 TV show in Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34 and across all key Women demos (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54).

"Bachelor in Paradise" (8:00-9:00 p.m. - 4.4 million and 1.2/5 in AD18-49):
Cutting back to a 1-hour format this week from 8:00-9:00 p.m. against NBC's "America's Got Talent," ABC's "Bachelor in Paradise" rose for the 2nd week in Total Viewers (+2% - 4.44 million vs. 4.36 million) and held even with its week-ago Fast Affiliate Adults 18-49 rating (1.2/5), which were both Tuesday season highs for the show. Please note: Last week, "Bachelor in Paradise" went up by 1-tenth in the National Adults 18-49 ratings.

"Somewhere Between" (10:00-11:00 p.m. - 1.9 million and 0.4/2 in AD18-49):
Despite coming out of repeats at 10:00 p.m., ABC's "Somewhere Between" held even with its week-ago Adults 18-49 rating (0.4/2) to tie a Tuesday high. Building for the 4th consecutive week in Total Viewers (+12% - 1.9 million vs. 1.7 million), the ABC freshman drama marked its most watched telecast on the night.
