COURIC NEWSCAST RATINGS FALL TO RECORD LOW

During a week that saw the ratings of all evening newscasts decline, the CBS Evening News With Katie Couric declined the most, falling to 6.05 million viewers -- the fewest ever recorded (or at least since the modern Nielsen People Meters were introduced in 1987) for the CBS newscast. At the same time World News With Charles Gibson enjoyed its widest lead over NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams since the week of Peter Jennings' death in August 2005. 8.1 million viewers tuned in to the ABC newscast compared with 7.5 million for Williams's. It was the ABC newscast's ninth first-place finish in the past 13 weeks.
