Univision shows strong in mainstream ratings
In its first week of being measured side-by-side with English language networks, Spanish specialist Univision had nothing to be ashamed of. Univision tied for fifth place with UPN for household ratings and share (1.7/3), and was the undisputed #5 2+, 18-49, 18-34 (nearly tying #4 CBS) and 25-54. CBS posted its 15th straight HH win for the 15-week-old season at 6.7/12, followed by ABC 5.1/9 (and the 18-49 winner), NBC 4.7/8, Fox 3.7/6, Univision and UPN 1.7/3, WB 1.5/3 and i 0.4/1. As promised, for the first week of Nielsen including time-shifted viewing, we're giving you the list of top 20 shows for both live viewing and live plus one day. The order doesn't change and you'll find very little difference in the numbers. From here on out we'll use only live + single day, the new standard.
