NBC rolled to the win in Tuesday ratings, America’s Got Talent leading the network to a 1.7 in viewers 18-49, per the Nielsen overnights, and an 8 share. That easily beat the 0.6/3 that Fox and Telemundo both tallied.

Fox had Beat Shazam at 0.7 and Love Connection at 0.5. Fox ran the MLB All-Star game last Tuesday. Last night’s Beat Shazam and Love Connection were flat with the Tuesday before that.
Telemundo got a lift from Sin Senos Si Hay Paraiso (0.6) and El Senor de los Cielos (0.7), the former flat and the latter up a tenth.
ABC and CBS both rated a 0.5/2. ABC had repeated comedies before The Last Defense at a flat 0.4.
CBS aired drama reruns.
Univision did a 0.4/2.
The CW scored a 0.2/1. The 100 went up 50% to 0.3 and The Outpost lost 50% for a 0.1.
