NBC won Tuesday night among the Big 4 in every key measure, as the #1 and #2 shows of the night in all key demographics, "America's Got Talent" and "I Can Do That," swept six of six half-hours among the Big 4 in adults 18-49

· The season premiere of "America's Got Talent" (2.6/9 in 18-49, 10.9 million viewers overall from 8-10:01 p.m. ET) grew +8% versus last summer's finale in 18-49 (2.6 vs. 2.4 from 8-10:L01 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014), and is running within 0.4 of a point or 13% of the show's year-ago debut (3.0/9 from 8-10:01 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, 2013).

· The 2.6 for "Talent" last night equals or beats 13 of 15 Tuesday telecasts last summer in 18-49.

· The debut of "I Can Do That" (1.8/6 in 18-49, 6.5 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) matched NBC's top summer premiere for an alternative series in three years, since "American Ninja Warrior" debuted with a 2.4 on May 21, 2012 (equaling over that span the 1.8 of "The Winner Is... " from 10:01-11 p.m. on Monday, June 10, 2013).
