No, “Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas” was not a blockbuster for NBC. It actually lost a sizable percentage of its “The Voice” lead-in.<\/p>\n
It nonetheless fared well by all reasonable standards.<\/p>\n
According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, “My Hometown Christmas” drew a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating and averaged 5.96 million overall viewers. It took second in its timeslot, trailing only CBS’ “FBI” (1.0, 8.97 million).<\/p>\n
It, moreover, drew a larger audience than NBC’s recent John Legend & Chrissy Teigen (0.8, 4.34 million) and Pentatonix (0.7, 3.70 million) specials. Both received fairly comparable lead-in support (Tuesday’s “The Voice” was the most-watched of the lead-ins, but not by a significant margin).<\/p>\n
Granted, the Pentatonix special was announced very late in the game — and thus received minimal promotional exposure. Pentatonix also appeared in (and lent its star power to) the Darci Lynne special.<\/p>\n
Still, it is hard to deny that “My Hometown Christmas” was a solid outing for the America’s Got Talent winner’s first holiday special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas” performed decently Tuesday night.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":121175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[11906],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
