<p><em>America&#39;s Got Talent</em> fell in its move to a later time slot Tuesday.</p>
<p>The reality competition moved from 8 to 9 p.m. due to the Hurricane Harvey telethon that aired across the Big Four. Subsequently, the NBC series dipped two-tenths to a 2.3 rating in the adults 18-49 demo.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, that still helped NBC easily take the night.&nbsp;</p>
<p>At 8 p.m., the Hurricane Harvey telethon pulled a combined 2.7 rating in the demo across NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox. The hourlong special amassed 15.7 million viewers across the Big Four. (The telethon also raised $44 million for hurricane relief.)</p>
<p>The only other new show of the evening, <em>Somewhere Between </em>(0.3 adults) was flat for ABC.</p>
