"Peter Pan Live!" Captures NBC's Second-Most-Watched Non-Sports Thursday in More Than Five Years
NBC spins the numbers for Thursday, December 4.

[via press release from NBC]

"Peter Pan Live!" (2.3/7 in 18-49, 9.1 million viewers overall from 8-11 p.m. ET):

· Captured NBC's second-most-watched non-sports Thursday in more than five years (since the "ER" finale, April 2, 2009), behind only last year's "Sound of Music Live!" over that span.

· In 18-49, delivered NBC's second-highest-rated Thursday, excluding sports, in three years (since Sept. 22, 2011).

· Is up +121% versus NBC's Thursday season average (9.129 million vs. 4.127 million).

· More than doubled NBC's Thursday non-sports season average in 18-49 (2.3 vs. 1.1, L+SD).

NOTE: The NFL Network carried a high-rated Cowboys-Bears game last night, which is expected to deliver a much higher rating than the comparable year-ago Texans-Jaguars game.

NOTE: CBS carried the Cowboys-Bears game in both the Chicago and Dallas markets and results are subject to downward adjustment inn official nationals.

QUOTE FROM ROBERT GREENBLATT, CHAIRMAN, NBC ENTERTAINMENT:

We're very pleased with the Peter Pan ratings and it was a great night for NBC. We won every hour, which hasn't happened on Thursday with entertainment programming since a year ago. I'm proud to be part of a company that takes chances and creates big events, and that's exactly what we're going to continue to do.

We didn't expect to reach the same rating as The Sound of Music since that was the first live movie event of its kind in over 50 years. But the high wire act of Peter Pan was a joy for everyone involved and I take my hat off to Allison Williams, Christopher Walken, the entire company, and our incredible directors and producers for three months of the hardest work I've ever seen. I love these live events and we're already working on putting the next one together.
