ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” took the top two spots in the Household ratings for Thanksgiving week as it wrapped up its season with the final performance show and the results show naming the winner. In Nielsen’s 18-49 ratings, though, DWTS was beaten by “NBC Sunday Night Football,” with the brief NFL overrun into primetime on Fox actually claiming the #1 spot. But for the full week, CBS was #1 in HH and Fox in 18-49.
In HH CBS had an average rating of 5.9 and a 10 share, with ABC at 5.4/9, Fox 4.0/7, NBC 3.9/7, Univision 1.6/3, Ion 1.0/2, CW 0.7/1, Telemundo and TeleFutura 0.5/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.
In 18-49 Fox was at 2.6/8, ABC 2.3/7, NBC and CBS 2.1/6, Univision 1.3/4, TeleFutura and Telemundo 0.5/1, Ion and CW 0.4/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
