Thanks to the NFL runover, CBS won the night and Amazing Race was helped out as well. When the live sports runovers are factored in, this will change, but the overnights show the following:

Quote
TV Ratings: Peyton, Eli Manning Score Sunday
CBS and NBC both get a boost from NFL games


Fast National ratings for Sunday, Nov. 9, 2008

NFL games involving the Manning brothers were ratings winners Sunday, with Peyton helping CBS grab the overall title and little brother Eli fueling NBC's demographic victory.

CBS averaged a 9.2 rating/14 share for the night, beating out NBC's 8.3/13 (both networks' final numbers will change when the live sports telecasts are factored in). ABC, 6.9/11, came in third. FOX took fourth with a 4.0/6, while a night of repeats on The CW drew a miniscule 0.4/1.

NBC led among adults 18-49 with a 4.9 rating. ABC and CBS tied for second in the key demographic with a 3.8. FOX was not far back at 3.2. The CW came in at 0.2.

The end of Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts' win over the Pittsburgh Steelers combined with "60 Minutes" for a 13.2/21 at 7 p.m. NBC's "Football Night in America," 4.6/7, was second in households, but "America's Funniest Home Videos," 4.3/7, brought a few more total viewers to ABC. Repeats of "King of the Hill" and "The Simpsons" put FOX in fourth, well ahead of "In Harm's Way" on The CW.

NBC's "Sunday Night Football," featuring Eli Manning's New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles, scored a 9.2/14 at 8 p.m. CBS averaged 8.8/13 with the conclusion of "60 Minutes" and "The Amazing Race." ABC got a 6.4/10 from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." "The Simpsons," 4.7/7, and "King of the Hill," 4.0/6, kept FOX in fourth. The CW went with "Valentine."

At 9 p.m., the Giants-Eagles game and ABC's "Desperate Housewives" tied for the lead at 10.0/15 (and were separated by fewer than 50,000 total viewers). "The Amazing Race" and "Cold Case" scored a 7.5/11 for CBS, beating out "Family Guy," 5.2/8, and "American Dad," 4.1/6, on FOX.

NBC reclaimed sole possession of first at 10 p.m. as the game posted a 9.5/16. "Cold Case" and "The Unit" drew a 7.2/12 for CBS, edging the 6.9/11 for "Brothers & Sisters" on ABC.

Next week, CBS has the doubleheader as well, but NBC has Dallas at Washington which always gets good ratings so we'll see if this is the start of a trend or if this is a one time spike.

Yeah, thinks to no internet yesterday at work I couldn't psot any of the good news.

Based on 30 minute breakdowns of the night (which will still change clightly since the delay wasn't an even 30 minutes and will reflect an influence of Cold Case).  So the breakdown of the 8:30 to 9:30 ratings is what I am reporting, today we will have the accurate info.

Viewers from 8:30 to 9:30 11.68 million
Demo for 18-49 from 8:30 to 9:30  3.3
Demo 18-34 from 8:30 to 9:30 2.4

We might see a minor drop in the viewer total (but shouldn't in the demo as AR has consistently beat Cold Case in all three primary Demo groups (teh 25-54 isn't reported in Fast Nationals just Finals).

But it will probably be our most watched episode (and the episode was so worth it, I loved it).  And if it stays close to that number in viewers that matches the typical overrun result of last year and is a little better then the overrun results from season 10.

I was very pleased by these results.

And DVR results for episode # 5 are out and they showed a bit of an increase from week 3 (and I would assume week 4 that didn't have a large enough increase to make the chart).

Live viewers were 8.558 million
Live Same Day (up to 3am and what are considered final numbers)  9.696 million
Live plus 7 (anyone who watched that week) 10.3 million

a increase of 1.742 million from DVR (VHR's) from its initial broadcast.

A percentage increase of 20.4% (its 2nd best this year).

The only other CBS shows that did better were CSI, NCIS, Survivor, 2 and a half men, The Mentalist.

There was also a report released last week about the first month of this season and how DVR viewership is changing how networks look at shows and which do appeal and what age group uses DVR to watch.

Amazing Race is the 3rd out of all reality shows in DVR usage percentage wise, 2nd in viewers. 

The report talks about how its DVR usage and the lower average age of those who DVR helps CBS who's audience is aging and thus gets less dollar per viewer based on that older audience (yeah they hate us).

They also talk about how while its true that DVR results don't truly play a part in revenue thanks to all of us not watching the ads.  It does talk about how certain shows can benefit from  already existing product placement.  For AR tehy talk about how the airline coverage the show provides and the gnome has great means of bringin gin additional revenue from advertisiers (or donating, for our show say airfare, to help lower the cost of shows).

Its a rather positive report for how the future business model for TV wil lhave to take shape, and our show was one that seemed to benefit from it.

60 Minutes, CSI and Sunday Night Football lead weekly top 20 Nielsen TV Ratings
Posted on 11 November 2008 by Robert Seidman

A huge NFL lead in propelled 60 Minutes to the top of the weekly overall broadcast network viewing charts, followed by CSI and Sunday Night Football. Election coverage and the Saturday Night Live Presidential Bash 2008 alsomade the list. On this list CBS was dominant with eleven shows, followed by ABC with five and NBC with four. Fox was completely shut out of this list, though it fared much better in the weekly 18-49 year old top twenty rankings where it at least placed Family Guy and The Simpsons.

CBS isn’t so dominate among 18-49 year olds where it placed seven shows (NBC place six, ABC five and Fox two) but it was still dominant and, it pulled something off I never thought I’d see: two out of three shows from Friday making the top 20 - Numb3rs and a repeat (yes a repeat!) of NCIS. Ghost Whisperer was not far behind at number 23. Just so you know I still have my head screwed on more or less correctly, yes I know it was a strange week with election coverage preempting all of the Tuesday shows. While I don’t personally find this particular list as meaningful as the 18-49 list (and neither, by the way, do the networks) CBS is still cleaning up here and among 18-49 year olds as well. Actually making a night out of Fridays is to be commended in my book.

Still, with almost four million more viewers, Grey’s Anatomy had a million more 18-49 year old viewers than CSI. But there’s no shame in that. The shame for now lies a little at Fox and a LOT at NBC. Without sports, and election coverage NBC would’ve placed no shows on this list (and without Sunday Football that would be the case every week!). Fox at least would’ve place House if not for the election coverage. But the fun doesn’t start for Fox until American Idol comes back, which is going to be a while. Though it will be very interesting to see how the two hour movie, 24: Redemption does in a couple of weeks.

Nielsen Top Twenty Shows by viewers for the week ending 11/09/08:

Yeah, I'm going to be watching that. Plus, that week, Fox has the NFL doubleheader.
Well I know where my loyalty is, the Race. Now I wish I had 2 DVR's  (:;)! I guess VHS will have to do for 24 but its crappola cable.
