Despite airing an encore "America's Got Talent," NBC won Tuesday night among the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49, total viewers and every other key measure, with the #1 show of the night on those nets in every key demographic, "America's Got Talent."

An encore telecast of "America's Got Talent" (1.9/7 in 18-49, 7.9 million viewers overall from 8-10:01 p.m. ET) retained 90% of Sunday's 9-11 p.m. original run of this episode in adults 18-49 (1.9 vs. 2.1) and retained 97% in total viewers (7.899 million vs. 8.120 million). "Talent" is the #1 Big 4 telecast of the night in every key demographic - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 -- and also won its two hour time period among ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in every key measure - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers. In adults 18-49, the "Talent" encore won the slot among the Big 4 by a +90% margin (1.9 vs. a 1.0 for ABC's original "Extreme Weight Loss" and CBS's drama rebroadcasts).

The 1.9 rating matches the highest for an "America's Got Talent" encore in two years (since Tuesday, May 29, 2012). In total viewers, the 7.9 million makes this the most-watched "Talent" rebroadcast in three years (since Wednesday, June 22, 2011).

Despite this week's encore lead-in, "The Night Shift" (1.2/4 in 18-49, 6.0 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) nearly matched last week's 1.3 rating in 18-49, retaining 92% of that week-ago rating even with a drop in lead-in of 0.9 of a point or 31% in the 9:30 half-hour (2.0 this week, 2.9 last week). In total viewers, "Night Shift" is currently retaining 97% of last week's result (6.042 million vs. 6.250 million), despite a drop of 4.0 million viewers or 32% in the 9:30 half-hour with the switch from a "Talent" original to a "Talent" encore (8.2 million in the half-hour this week vs. 12.2 million last week).

"The Night Shift" is currently running within 0.1 of the slot lead among ABC, CBS and NBC in 18-49 and is #1 in total viewers (6.042 million) and tied for #1 in adults 25-54, women 25-54, men 18-49 and men 18-34.
