[via press release from NBC]

Monday Results (Note ABC carried NFL football in Pittsburgh and Nashville):

NBC ranked #1 for the night among the Big 4 in adults 18-49, taking six of six half-hours among those nets with "The Voice" and the "State of Affairs" debut.

· "The Voice" (3.0/8 in 18-49, 10.8 million viewers overall from 8-10 p.m. ET) ranked as the #1 show of the night on the Big 4 in adults 18-49, as well as adults 18-34 and adults 25-54.

· In the time period, "The Voice" ranked #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in every key demographic (including a tie with ABC in women 25-54).

· "The Voice" matched its comparable telecast from the spring cycle in adult 18-49 rating (3.0/9 on April 28).

· The debut of "State of Affairs" (2.2/7 in 18-49, 8.6 million viewers overall from 10-11 p.m. ET) won the hour among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49, topping "Castle" by +10% (2.2 vs. 2.0, note that ABC carried the NFL in two markets and ratings may be adjusted downward) and "NCIS: LA" by +29% (2.2 vs. 1.7).
