"David S. Pumpkins" Is the #1 Non-World Series Broadcast of the Night in the Metered Markets
NBC spins the numbers for Saturday, October 28.

[via press release from NBC]

In Late-Night Metered-Market Ratings for Saturday Night:

· "The David S. Pumpkins Halloween Special" has averaged a 3.4 rating, 8 share in households in Nielsen's 56 metered markets and a 1.4/7 in 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters from 11:30 p.m. ET to midnight.

· That made it the #1 non-World Series telecast of the night on the broadcast networks in both metered-market households and in 18-49 in the local people meters, ahead of all Saturday primetime programs on those nets besides Fox's World Series coverage.

· Versus the year-ago "Saturday Night Live" rebroadcast on the Saturday before Halloween, "The David S. Pumpkins Halloween Special" maintained 100% in metered-market households (with a 3.4 rating vs. a 3.4 from 11:30 p.m.-1 a.m. ET on Oct. 29, 2016) and grew +8% in 18-49 in the local people meters (1.4 vs. 1.3).

· "The David S. Pumpkins Halloween Special" led into the top-rated "Saturday Night Live" encore in seven months. From midnight to 1 a.m., an "SNL Presents: Halloween" rebroadcast averaged a 3.1/9 in metered-market households and a 1.3/8 in 18-49 in the local people meters. It's the highest metered-market rating for an "SNL" encore since April 1 (3.2 with host Alec Baldwin and musical guest Ed Sheeran) and the top 18-49 rating in the local people meters since March 18 (1.3, Casey Affleck, Chance the Rapper). The last time an "SNL" rebroadcast topped a 1.3 in the local people meters was Jan. 28 (1.4, Kristen Wiig, The xx).
