Despite Ratings Drop, NBC's SNF To Top All Shows


NBC "Sunday Night Football" says the NFL programming franchise is once again on track to be the most-viewed TV series this season -- yet ratings are down from a year ago.

NBC says "SNF" averaged 18.2 million Nielsen viewers for live program-plus-same day viewing from September 7 through December 25. The 2017-2018 TV season ends in late May 2018.

MediaPost reports this year’s series is down 11% from a year ago, when "SNL" averaged 20.3 million viewers.

NBC is airing one less "SNF" game then originally scheduled. Recently, the NFL decided not to air a Sunday Night game for New Year’s Eve. Instead, all NFL games will be played either at 1 p.m. or 4:25 p.m ET on Sunday. The league did not announce which teams originally would have played in the Sunday night game.

or "SNF" this would be the seventh year in a row as the top TV series -- a run that began in the 2011-2012 TV season. Overall, NBC has aired “SNF” for 12 seasons starting in 2006.
