We’re back to the often seen scenario of CBS winning for total viewers and in the Household ratings for Week 22 of the TV season, but with Fox back on top in the big money 18-49 demo. That split carried through to the top programs, with “NCIS” at #1 in HH for CBS, but Fox’s “American Idol” at the top of the heap for 18-49.
In HH CBS had an average 6.8 rating and 11 share, with Fox at 5.1/8, ABC 4.2/7, NBC 3.5/6, Univision 1.9/3, CW 0.9/1, Ion 0.7/1, Telemundo 0.6/1, TeleFutura 0.4/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
In 18-49 Fox was at 2.9/8, with CBS at 2.5/7, ABC 2.0/6, NBC 1.9/5, Univision 1.5/4, CW 0.6/2, Telemundo 0.4/1, Ion and TeleFutura 0.3/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.
