2nd clean sweep for CBS

0

For the second week in a row CBS won both the Households ratings contest and the big money 18-49 demo. The Eye Network also had 14 of the top 20 shows for the week in HH “Two and a Half Men” was tops in HH and beaten only by NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” in 18-49, so the show seems to be doing OK without Charlie Sheen.


In HH CBS scored an average 8.0 rating and 13 share, with ABC at 6.1/10, Fox and NBC 4.8/8, Univision 2.1/3, CW 1.3/2, Ion and Telemundo 0.6/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.

In 18-49 CBS was at 3.4/9, with Fox 3.1/9, ABC and NBC 2.6/7, Univision 1.7/5, CW 0.8/2, Telemundo 0.5/1, TeleFutura and Ion 0.2/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
