Or, perhaps more correctly, it was a big week for the NFL. With two “Sunday Night Football” games – one delayed to Tuesday – NBC scored big in the ratings. The Peacock claimed the coveted 18-49 crown, but was still beaten by CBS in Households. Alas, for NBC it was the final week of the NFL regular season, so no more “Sunday Night Football” until next Fall.
In 18-49 NBC averaged a 2.9 rating and 8 share. CBS was at 1.7/5, Fox 1.6/5, ABC 1.5/5, Univision 1.2/3, TeleFutura 0.5/1, Telemundo, Ion and CW 0.4/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.
In HH CBS was at 5.2/9, NBC 5.0/9, ABC 3.2/6, Fox 3.0/5, Univision 1.5/3, Ion 0.9/2, CW 0.6/1, Telemundo and TeleFutura 0.5/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
Here are the week’s top 20 shows.
