Post-sweeps, CBS sweeps up
As networks kicked into post-sweeps reruns, CBS handily won the 12th week of the TV season across the board. Its latest win in the 18-49 demo has also put the Eye net back ahead of ABC for the key demo season-to-date (though not by much). For Household viewership, CBS won the week with an 8.8 rating and 14 share, followed by NBC at 6.2/10, ABC 6.0/10, Fox 3.5/6, UPN 2.4/4, WB 2.1/3 and i 0.4.1. CBS also claimed the top five spots in the weekly ratings by program.
