UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Sept. 3, 2014 - NBC has won the primetime week of Aug. 25-31 among the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49, total viewers and virtually all other key measures, led by "The 66thPrimetime Emmy(R) Awards," which ranked #1 among the week's primetime telecasts on the Big 4 networks in every key ratings category - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers.

NBC's win marks the 11thtime this summer the network has finished #1 or tied for #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in 18-49 rating, making NBC the only Big 4 network to have won more than three weeks since the close of the traditional season (L+SD). At this point last summer, NBC had finished #1 or tied for #1 six times versus five each for ABC and Fox. For the week, NBC averaged a 1.3 rating, 5 share in adults 18-49 and 5.8 million viewers overall, according to "live plus same day" viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research.

NBC's 1.3 for the week is the highest rating for any Big 4 network in four weeks, since NBC earned a 1.4 the week of July 28-Aug. 3. NBC's 5.8 million viewers overall makes this the network's most-watched week in four months, since averaging 6.1 million viewers for the week of April 28-May 4.

Versus the same week last year, NBC is up +30% in adult 18-49 rating (to a 1.3 from a 1.0) and up +43% in total viewers (5.8 million vs. 4.1 million).

Joining Monday's "Emmy" coverage among NBC telecasts to rank in the week's top 30 among Big 4 primetime programs in 18-49 were Tuesday's edition of "America's Got Talent" (#3), Wednesday's "Talent" (#8), Tuesday's "Food Fighters" (tied for #15), Wednesday's "Talent" encore (tied for #18) and Friday's "Dateline NBC" (tied for #27).

The "Emmy" telecast, hosted by Seth Meyers, along with Tuesday and Wednesday editions of "Talent," accounted for the #1, 2 and 3 Big 4 primetime telecasts of the week in total viewers.

Through 49 weeks of the 2013-14 broadcast year, NBC ranks #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, adults 25-54, adults 18-34 (tied with Fox), men 18-49 (tied with Fox), men 25-54 and all key adult-female demos. It's the first time NBC has ranked #1 in adults 18-49 at this point in the season in 10 years (since the 2003-04 season).

Versus one year ago, NBC is up +10% for the broadcast year to date in adults 18-49 (2.3 vs. 2.1).

In total viewers, NBC ranks #2 for the broadcast year with an average of 8.2 million viewers, which is its biggest overall audience 49 weeks into the season in six years (since 2007-08, 8.5 million). Versus one year ago, NBC is up +25% season to date in total viewers (8.2 million vs. 6.5 million).

Primetime averages for the week of Aug. 25-31 in adults 18-49 are: NBC, 1.3/5; ABC, 1.0/4; CBS, 1.0/4; Fox, 0.8/3; and CW, 0.3/1. In overall total viewers, the weekly averages were: NBC, 5.8 million; CBS, 5.3 million; ABC, 4.0 million; Fox, 2.3 million; and CW, 0.8 million.

NBC highlights for the week of Aug. 25-31:

Monday: NBC's telecast of "The 66th Primetime Emmy(R) Awards" (4.2 rating in adults 18-49,15.6 million viewers overall), hosted by Seth Meyers, generated the second biggest overall audience for the Emmys since 2006, trailing over that span only the 17.8 million for last year's telecast, which benefited from Sunday scheduling, a September airdate and a high-rated NFL lead-in. Excluding those 2013 results, this is the top Emmys in total viewers since the Sunday, Aug. 27, 2006 telecast on NBC averaged 16.2 million viewers. In adults 18-49, the 4.2 matches the second highest Emmy rating since the 2007 coverage on Fox averaged a 4.3 on Sunday, Sept. 16, trailing over that span only last year's 4.9 on CBS.

The 15.6 million represented the most-watched night on any network since ABC's Academy Awards on March 2 (35.2 million).

The Emmys topped the combined Big 4 competition in primetime, with a 4.2 rating edging the combined 4.1 of Fox, ABC and CBS, while the 15.6 million in total viewers beat the combined total of 14.0 million. NBC ranked #1 for the night in every key ratings measure. The "Emmys" attracted NBC's biggest total-viewer result in the Monday 8-11 p.m. ET time period, excluding Olympics, since Feb. 6, 2012. In 18-49, the 4.2 rating matches NBC's highest for a non-Olympic Monday since Sept. 23, 2013.

The Monday telecast finished within 12% of last year's NFL-boosted coverage on CBS in total viewers and within 14% in 18-49 rating. Versus the last Emmys to not follow an NFL lead-in, the Sept. 23, 2012 telecast on ABC, this year's coverage was up +18% in total viewers (15.6 million vs. 13.3 million) and up +8% in 18-49 (4.2 vs. 3.9).
