Although “America’s Got Talent” was the most-watched show on television for the past week, it was the only show that NBC managed to put into the top 10, even though it was there three times.


Fox once again won the 18-49 demo, followed by CBS, a tie by NBC and ABC, Univision, a tie by Telemundo and MyNetworkTV, TeleFutura, CW, Ion and Azteca America.

CBS topped the Household chart with a 4.1 rating and 8 share, followed by NBC 3.3/6, Fox 3.1/6, ABC 2.6/5, Univision 1.6/3, MyNetworkTV 0.9/2, CW 0.6/1, Telemundo and TeleFutura 0.5/1, Ion 0.4/1 and Azteca America 0.1/0.
