The 2010-2011 television season is going pretty well so far for CBS. Its perfect record is intact, with the Eye Network winning Week 5 just as it did 1, 2, 3 and 4. The NFL grudge match with Minnesota at Green Bay on NBC bumped ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” out of the #1 spot for individual programs.
In Households CBS had an average 7.1 rating and 12 share, followed by ABC at 5.6/9, NBC 5.0/8, Fox 4.5/8, Univision 2.0/3, CW 1.3/2, Ion 0.8/1, Telemundo and TeleFutura 0.4/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
In the key 18-49 demo CBS was at 2.9/8, NBC 2.7/8, ABC 2.5/7, Fox 2.4/7, Univision 1.7/5, CW 0.9/3, TeleFutura, Ion and Telemundo 0.3/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.
