NBC:  A special holiday episode of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT was the highest rated show of the night at 1.8, and it gave a solid lead-in to the new reality series THE WALL, which debuted at 1.6.

CBS:  The OPRAH WINFREY SPECIAL with Michelle Obama was at 1.3.  The night’s sitcoms ran out of their regular timeslots, and MAN WITH A PLAN lost 0.1 to 1.1, while 2 BROKE GIRLS was steady at 1.2.  SCORPION rose 0.1 to 1.2.

ABC:  Both MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL simulcasts were on ABC affiliates, so the network’s numbers may be adjusted this afternoon.  Currently the finale of THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT is at 1.2, and a rerun of THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW is at 0.9.

CW:  The MARIE CLAIRE YOUNG WOMEN’S HONORS special was at 0.2, unable to match the 0.4 SUPERGIRL rerun that preceded it.

FOX:  Reruns at 0.4/0.4.

FOX airs the season (technically) finale of SCREAM QUEENS tonight, but the evening is dominated by specials, including THE YEAR: 2016 on ABC, MICHAEL BUBLE SINGS & SWINGS and TONY BENNETT CELEBRATES 90 on NBC, and TERRY CREWS SAVES CHRISTMAS on CW. 

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.

This feature will return in January.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
