NBC spins the numbers for Saturday, July 18.

[via press release from NBC]

In Late-Night Metered-Market Household Averages for Saturday Night:

· An encore telecast of "Saturday Night Live," with host Kevin Hart and musical guest Sia, averaged a 2.4 rating, 7 share in household results in Nielsen's 56 metered markets and a 1.0/6 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters, making it the #1 telecast of the night on the Big 4 networks in 18-49 in the Local People Meters, ahead of all primetime programs on those nets. The "SNL" rebroadcast beat the night's top Big 4 primetime program by a +67% margin in the LPMs (1.0 vs. 0.6 for CBS's "48 Hours" encore).

· "Saturday Night Live" scored its highest rating in four weeks in 18-49 in the Local People Meters (since June 20 with host and musical guest Blake Shelton, 1.1/6 in 18-49 in the Local People Meters).

· Versus the same night last year, the "SNL" rebroadcast is up +4% in metered-market households (2.4 vs. 2.3) and up +11% in 18-49 in the Local People Meters (1.0 vs. 0.9).

· Note that "SNL" adds significant viewership via time-shifting, with originals this season growing by an average of +44% going from "live plus same day ratings" to "live plus seven day" in adults 18-49 (from a 1.84 rating to a 2.65).

Saturday Primetime Results (note NBC carried baseball in the Philadelphia market):

· "Hannibal" (0.4/2 in 18-49, 1.2 million viewers overall from 10-11 p.m. ET) equaled its prior three telecasts in adults 18-49 rating, to match its highest rating since June 18 despite this week's move to a Saturday airdate. In the time period, "Hannibal" tied for #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in men 18-34.

· Despite the 10 p.m. hour, "Hannibal" maintained its full rating from half-hour to half-hour in adults 18-49 (0.4 vs. 0.4) and grew 0.1 or +25% in adults 25-54 (0.4 vs. 0.5). "Hannibal" maintained or increased in rating half-hour to half-hour in every key demo.

· "Aquarius," which had been available for binge viewing of all episode online through its first four weeks, will add significant viewership via time-shifting - to date, "Aquarius" is growing by +39% in 18-49 rating (from a 0.83 to a 1.15) and 1.4 million viewers overall (4.2 million to 5.6 million) going from L+SD to L+7.
