NBC says it is the most-watched season in the 12-year history of America’s Got Talent. The show is averaging 15.8 million viewers in live plus seven day ratings, up 14% over last summer. In adults 18-49, Talent is up 10% (3.4 vs. 3.1). An increased focus on strong storytelling related to the contestants has helped, say the producers.
America’s Got Talent was created by Simon Cowell and is co-produced by FremantleMedia North America and Syco Entertainment. Cowell, Sam Donnelly, Jason Raff, Trish Kinane and Richard Wallace are the executive producers.
