CBS | Pending adjustment due to Masters Golf-delayed starts, 60 Minutes is currently reporting 6.3 million total viewers and the Beach Boys salute (watch performances) shows 4.4 million (per CBS); there are no meaningful demo numbers to share yet.

NBC | Leading out of a Magnum P.I. rerun, The Blacklist (2.1 mil/0.2) was steady.

ABC | AFV (3.2 mil/0.3) and American Idol (4.3 mil/0.4, read recap) both took holiday hits, yet The Company You Keep (2.1 mil/0.2) held steady.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. This is only an exhibition, this is not a competition. Please, no wagering.
