[via press release from NBC]

Monday Results (CW carried NFL coverage in Chicago):

· NBC ranked #1 for the night among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, winning six of six half-hours among those networks, with "The Voice" delivering the #1 rating of the night with week-to-week gains and "Revolution" winning among ABC, CBS and NBC in all key demos at 10. For the night, NBC is up 150 percent versus the same night last year (with a 4.0 rating vs. a 1.6) and 149 percent in total viewers (11.014 million vs. 4.417 million).

· From 8-10:01 p.m. ET, "The Voice" (4.5 rating, 11 share in adults 18-49, 12.3 million viewers overall) delivered the #1 results of the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49 and other key demos, winning the time period head to head versus CBS's comedies by 55 percent (with a 4.5 rating vs. a 2.9) and versus ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" by 125 percent (4.5 vs. 2.0). .

· Week to week, "The Voice" is up 2 percent (4.5 vs. 4.4, up 7 percent vs. its 4.2 last week in these prelim fast-affil numbers) and up 1 percent in total viewers (12.320 million vs. 12.183 million)..

· "The Voice" delivered growth throughout its time period, generating this track in 18-49 rating: 3.7, 4.3, 4.8, 5.0, for a gain of 1.3 rating points or 35 percent from the show's first half-hour to its fourth. In total viewers, the increase is 18 percent or 2.0 million persons (13.0 million vs. 11.0 million).

· "The Voice" is up 50 percent versus NBC's 18-49 average in the time period last season (4.5 vs. 3.0) and up 42 percent in total viewers (12.320 million vs. 8.682 million). Versus its averages for the show's final four Monday telecasts last spring, "The Voice" is up 22 percent in 18-49 (4.5 vs. 3.7) and up 21 percent in total viewers (12.320 vs. 10.149 million).

· At 10:01 p.m. ET, "Revolution" (3.2/8 in adults 18-49, 8.4 million viewers overall) ranked #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49 and all other key demographics.

In L+3, Week 2 of "Revolution" finished within 5 percent of its premiere rating (5.19 vs. 5.45), and that's despite the arrival in Week 2 of time-period competition from the season premieres of "Hawaii Five-0" and "Castle."
