It took the World Series to do it, but for the first time this season a network other than CBS won the ratings crown, ending the streak for the Eye Network at five weeks. But while Fox was #1 overall in Households and 18-49, the top show in HH was ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” and for 18-49 it was “NBC Sunday Night Football.” So, each of the four nets had something to crow about.
In HH Fox scored an average 7.1 rating and 12 share, with CBS at 6.8/11, ABC 5.9/10, NBC 4.0/7, Univision 2.1/4, CW 1.4/2, Ion 0.7/1, Telemundo 0.5/1, TeleFutura 0.4/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.
In 18-49 it was Fox 3.7/11, ABC and CBS 2.6/7, NBC 2.3/7, Univision 1.8/5, CW 1.0/3, Telemundo 0.4/1, TeleFutura and Ion 0.3/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
Here are the week’s top 20 shows:
