ABC had a normally-rated countdown special (0.6) leading into an NBA game (0.9).

CBS had an encore of 'NCIS: LA' (0.4) leading into a repeat of '48 Hours' (0.5) at 9 and an original at 10 (0.6).

FOX had repeats of 'MasterChef Junior' (0.4) and 'Showtime at the Apollo' (0.4). By Saturday repeat standards, there were on the high-end of what the network usually does.

NBC had low-rated hockey (0.4) in primetime. Outside of primetime, the peacock network housed the return of 'Saturday Night Live' (1.9). The long hiatus didn't affect it too much. It dropped a tenth from its last episode.
