After posting improved numbers for last week’s official time period premieres, NBC’s “Superstore” and “Telenovela” suffered losses this week.
Per Nielsen Fast National data, Monday’s “Superstore” posted a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating and reached 5.350 million total viewers. Lead-out “Telenovela” drew a 1.0 with 3.622 million.
Last week’s “Superstore” drew a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating and 6.036 million total viewers, while “Telenovela” posted a 1.5 with 4.563 million.
While the “Telenovela” decline is particularly concerning on paper, it may have at least a partial explanation: the College Football Championship. ESPN’s broadcast of the big game drew a mammoth audience, and that almost surely had some sort of impact on viewership.
— NBC’s Monday also included “The Biggest Loser” (1.1, 3.488 million).
