Another week won by Fox and CBS

0

NBC remains ratings challenged, but it does have a hit on its hands with “The Voice.” The singing competition reality show was #3 for the past week in the big money 18-49 demo, beaten only by the two airings of “American Idol” on Fox. The Voice doesn’t do nearly as well in the Household ratings, since its audience skews so young. For the past week CBS won in HH and Fox, of course, in 18-49.


For the 18-49 demo Fox had an average rating of 2.8 and an 8 share, with ABC at 2.5/7, CBS 2.2/6, NBC 2.0/6, Univision 1.3/4, CW 0.8/2, Telemundo 0.7/2, Ion 0.3/1, TeleFutura 0.2/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.

In HH CBS was at 6.2/10, ABC 5.8/10, Fox 4.9/8, Univision 1.8/3, CW 1.1/2, Telemundo 0.7/1, Ion 0.6/1, Azteca America and TeleFutura 0.2/0 and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.

Due to a three-way tie for 20th place, here are the week’s top 22 shows:
