Fox battled back to the top place in the big money 18-49 demo for Week 4 of the television season, displacing CBS from its two week hold. But CBS kept intact its unbeaten streak in the Household ratings. NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” was the top show in 18-49, but only managed 4th place in HH, beaten by CBS’ “NCIS” and both nights of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”


In HH CBS had an average 6.7 rating and 11 share, with ABC and Fox at 5.5/9, NBC 4.1/7, Univision 1.7/3, CW 1.1/2, Ion and Telemundo 0.6/1, TeleFutura 0.3/0 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.

In 18-49 Fox was at 3.0/8, CBS 2.6/7, ABC 2.3/6, NBC 2.1/6, Univision 1.4/4, CW 0.7/2, Telemundo 0.5/1, Ion 0.3/1, TeleFutura 0.2/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.
