* From 8-9 p.m. ET, a recap episode of "The Voice" (2.0/6 in 18-49, 6.6 million viewers overall) ranked #2 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in the hour, topping reality competition from Fox's season premiere of "So You Think You Can Dance" (1.9/6) and ABC's "Wipeout" (1.1/4) in adults 18-49, total viewers and other key categories.

* From 9-10:01 p.m. ET, "The Voice" (3.4/10 in 18-49, 10.2 million viewers overall) convincingly won its new time period, with margins of 36 percent over CBS's "NCIS: LA" (3.4 vs. 2.5) and 89 percent over ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Results Show (3.4 vs. 1.8).

* "The Voice" delivered the #1 18-49 rating of the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, pending updates. Note that every telecast of "The Voice" so far this cycle has grown by 0.1-0.2 of a rating point from these preliminary fast-affiliate ratings to the official-national results.
