FOX led the Monday 8pm hour on Broadcast with a new episode of '9-1-1' which scored a night's best 1.27 adults 18-49 rating/7 share and just shy of 7 million viewers, second only to NBC's 'The Voice' (7.4 million).

Over at ABC, 'The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart' (0.57/3, 2.7 million) took a distant fourth, but was still miles ahead of CW's 'Whose Line it is Anyway' (0.19/1, 766,000). Those 2 programs were the youngest-skewing on the hour though at 58.9 and 56.6.
