For the Holiday week bridging 2009 and 2010, the TV ratings race wasn’t so different from any other week this season. NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” was the most watched show, although that’s it for the NFL regular season. CBS won overall in Households and Fox in the 18-49 demo. So, pretty much a normal week.
In HH CBS had an average 5.2 rating and 9 share, followed by Fox 4.2/7, ABC 3.8/6, NBC 3.2/5 and Univision 1.5/3. Then something unusual: Ion was the #6 network for the week at 0.8/1. Following were CW 0.6/1, Telemundo and TeleFutura 0.5/1 and Azteca America 0.1/0.
For the 18-49 demo Fox scored 2.6/7, followed by ABC 2.0/6, CBS 1.8/5, NBC 1.7/5, Telemundo and TeleFutura 0.5/1, Ion and CW 0.4/1 and Azteca America 0.1/0.
Here are the week’s top 20 shows.
