CBS RETURNS TO TOP SPOT IN RATINGS
Ratings for CBS's Survivor: China may have been considerably lower than those for past Survivor series but they were strong enough last week to give the network an easy win over its rivals. Daily Variety observed that Survivor was one of the rare shows to win its time period every week during the season both in total viewers and among adults 18-49. The network's numbers were overwhelming on Thursday as a new episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation drew 20 million viewers, followed by a Survivor: China episode, which captured 14.5 million. Finally, Without a Trace closed the night with 15.1 million. Meanwhile, in the nightly news race, NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams pulled out ahead of ABC's World News With Charles Gibson. After weeks of running neck-and-neck, the NBC newscast drew over 400,000 more viewers than ABC's, posting 9.30 million to ABC's 8.86 million. CBS Evening News With Katie Couric remained well behind with 6.82 million.
The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research:
1. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CBS, 12.5/19; 2. Without a Trace, CBS, 10.0/17; 3. NBC Sunday Night Football, NBC, 9.5/15; 4. CSI: NY, CBS, 9.4/16; 5. CSI: Miami, CBS, 9.2/15; 6.
