Big week for CBS

0

NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” was the #1 show in the key 18-49 demo for Week 13 of the TV season. Nothing unusual about that, but SNF managed only #4 in the Household ratings, while CBS claimed the top three spots, with “NCIS” #1. So, for the week CBS claimed the ratings victory in both HH and 18-49.


In HH CBS had an average 6.9 rating and 11 share, with NBC well back at 3.9/6, Fox 3.3/5, ABC 3.2/5, Univision 1.7/3, Ion 0.8/1, Telemundo and CW 0.7/1, TeleFutura 0.3/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.

In 18-49 CBS was at 2.8/8, with NBC 2.0/6, Fox 1.9/5, Univision and ABC 1.3/4, Telemundo 0.6/2, CW 0.4/1, Ion 0.3/1, TeleFutura 0.2/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
