NBC - NBC.COM IS TOP NETWORK WEBSITE

NBC's game show Deal or No Deal has not only helped lift the network's sagging ratings, it has also drawn a huge number of visitors to its website, making it the most visited website operated by any of the major networks. According to data compiled by Hitwise Search Intelligence, NBC.com accounted for 43.45 percent to total visits to the four major networks' websites, with 30 percent of the traffic heading toward the game show. ABC.com was in second place with 27 percent of visits, followed by CBS.com with 21 percent and Fox with 9 percent. (Hitwise observed that Fox might have scored higher except for the fact that its No. 1 hit, American Idol, operates its own website.)
