Here are the highlights of the nine ad-sustained programs that aired in primetime on the broadcast networks last night (11/9/19):

FOX (3.117 million viewers, #1; adults 18-49: 0.9, #1) pulled into the top spot on Saturday with its coverage of "CFB on FOX" (3.117 million viewers, #3; adults 18-49: 0.9, #1).

· Versus primetime programming on the Big 4 networks Saturday night, the "SNL" rebroadcast is the #1 show of the night in metered-market households and in 18-49 in the local people meters.

· Note that current metered-market results are not compatible with data issued before Oct. 12 due to changes in Nielsen methodology. This is the top-rated "SNL" encore among two rebroadcasts since the change in methodology.

In late-night metered market ratings (via NBC's press release):

· The Nov. 10 telecast of "Saturday Night Live," with host Liev Schreiber and musical guest Lil Wayne, averaged a 4.0 rating, 10 share in "live plus same day" household results from the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research and a 1.5/8 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.
