CBS and Spanish-language broadcaster Univision tied to lead all broadcasters with adults 18-49 on Thursday with a 1.4 rating/5 share, according to Nielsen overnight numbers.
CBS, which led among total viewers with 5.48 million, aired only a new Big Brother, which dipped 4% to a 2.2.
NBC and ABC each aired the Jacksonville Jaguars-Chicago Bears preseason game in those markets (NBC in Jacksonville, ABC in Chicago), so those numbers will likely change when nationals are released later on Friday.
