"Dateline" was also #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in the 10:30 half-hour in women 25-54 and adults, men and women 18-49.

* At 8 p.m. ET, an encore telecast of "The Voice" (0.9/3 in 18-49, 3.1 million viewers overall) matched NBC's top non-sports 18-49 rating in the time period since May 18 and delivered the networks biggest overall audience for non-sports programming in the hour since that same date.

In late-night metered-market households Friday night:

* In Nielsen's 56 metered markets, household results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 2.5/6; CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman," 2.5/6; and ABC's combo of "Nightline," 2.8/6; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 1.4/4.
