Thursday Primetime Results:

Regarding this morning's Nielsens, note that the fast-national ratings that came in at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT are not time zone-adjusted and typically understate live NFL telecasts. Despite that, NBC is currently #1 for the night among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, total viewers and all other key measures in the fast-affiliate ratings.

· In metered-market results, which accurately reflect time-zone adjustments, last night's Seattle Seahawks-San Francisco 49ers game averaged a 12.5 rating, 25 share from 8:30-11:15 p.m. ET in household results from the 56 markets metered by Nielsen Media Research (the Boston market is currently excluded) to easily win the night in the metered markets.

· The 12.5 in metered-market households is the best-ever rating for Thanksgiving primetime game.

· The Seahawks' 19-3 win over the 49ers on NBC last night grew +6% versus from last year's 2-point Ravens win over the Steelers on Thanksgiving night (11.8/24).
