CBS On Top in November Sweeps

NEW YORK, December 1: CBS has extended its
winning streak in total viewers, clinching the November "sweeps" for
the eighth straight year.

CBS pulled in
an average 12.1 million viewers throughout November. For the fourth straight
year, ABC won the November sweeps among the 18-to-49 demographic. However, both
ABC and CBS declined year-to-year. At day 26 of sweeps, CBS was down 3 percent
in total viewers versus the year-ago sweeps, while ABC dropped 11 percent from
this time last year.

NBC ranked
third and FOX took fourth among viewers 18 to 49. The CW, though down 9 percent
from last November in adults 18 to 49, is running flat in the 18-to-34 demo.
MyNetworkTV boosted its average adults 18-to-49 rating by 50 percent compared
to last November, while Spanish-language network Univision showed slight gains,
growing 2 percent in total viewers.
