November 2019 Primetime Sweep

NBC WINS THE NOVEMBER SWEEP IN TOTAL VIEWERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 23 YEARS, SNAPS CBS' 18-YEAR WINNING STREAK

NBC ALSO RANKS #1 IN 25-54, MOVES INTO A TIE FOR #1 IN 18-49

NBC has won the November Sweep in total viewers for the first time since 1996, according to "most current" ratings results from Nielsen Media Research for the Oct. 31-Nov. 27 period.

The NBC victory snaps an 18-year CBS November total-viewer winning streak, which dates back to 2000, when CBS finished third behind ABC and NBC.

NBC also ranked #1 outright for the November 2019 sweep in adults 25-54 and is tied with Fox for #1 for the month in adults 18-49 after trailing Fox in both measures last year.

NBC's strong month was led by:

· The #1 primetime series in 18-49, 25-54 and total viewers, "Sunday Night Football."

· The #1 scripted series in 18-49, "This Is Us."

· The "Chicago" dramas, with "Fire" and "P.D." tying as the month's #4 drama in 18-49, behind only "This Is Us," "9-1-1" and "Grey's Anatomy," and "Med" ranking as the #6 drama.
