NBC wins Tuesday night, beating the ABC-CBS-Fox competition combined in 18-49, total viewers and every other key measure. AMERICA'S GOT TALENT (2.6/11 in 18-49, 12.5 million viewers overall from 8-10 p.m. ET) is the #1 show of the night in 18-49 and total viewers. Grows +4% versus last week's 2.5 in these prelim fast-affiliate ratings and retains 100% of last week's 2.6 in official nationals. In total viewers, grows versus last week's 12.435 million persons in these fast affils and is currently retaining 99% of last week's 12.6999 million in official nationals. If the increase holds when official-national results are in, it will be a third week of growth in a row and the first time ever the "Talent" Tuesday edition has increased audience each week in Weeks 2, 3 and 4. If the official-national result builds on last week's audience, it will be NBC's biggest total-viewer result in the time period in nine months (since "Talent's" performance finale on Sept. 13, 2016, 14.0 million).
'TALENT' Grows +13% versus its 18-49 rating on the same night last year in 18-49 (2.6 vs. 2.3 on June 21, 2016) and +7% in total viewers (12.548 million vs. 11.733 million).

The increases of +0.74 of a rating point and +2.6 million viewers overall were the night's biggest L+3 lifts in 18-49 rating and total viewers. The +0.74 gain in 18-49 is also the biggest lift for a regularly scheduled "Talent" in five years (since the show added +0.88 in L+3 with its Tuesday, June 12, 2012 telecast, 3.05 LS to 3.93).

Runs within 0.1 of a rating point of its 18-49 rating of the last two weeks (1.8 vs. 1.9 on June 6 and 13) and retain 96% week to week in total viewers (7.745 million vs. 8.039 million). Increases by +29% versus NBC's average in the timeslot last summer in 18-49 (1.8 vs. 1.4, L+SD, non-sports) and +1.6 million persons or +26% in total viewers (7.745 million vs. 6.170 million).
World of Dance is the #1 new series and #2 entertainment series of the summer to date in 18-49 and total viewers: "World of Dance" is the highest-rated first-year summer series in 18-49 through a show's first three weeks since 2013 (CBS' "Under the Dome").
