TARAsia Fan:
Wow, those are staggering numbers. To get over 10 million viewers is an achievement, but to get 12.4 million in this day and age is certainly noteworthy. Now, how much of that was an Obama bounce and from the NCAA Tournament whose numbers are up 6% from last year, we don't know, but to hold that much of the audience from 60 Minutes is very good.
Next week, we'll have another overrun which will help especially if North Carolina, an NCAA Tournament brand name, is in the late game. Ratings will go up if 1) the game is close and 2) 60 Minutes has another blockbuster night like it has for the last two weeks (Federal Charman Bernanke and President Obama).
mswood:
Yes its a great result (and unlike last time it occured we actually went up in Finals.
Here is the kicker. This is the 2nd highest rated episode of AR since we moved to Sundays. Season's 12 opener after the huge Patriots Overrun is the only time we have scored higher on Sunday.
Its the highest spring performance ever on a Sunday.
More Historic Data its officially 10th highest viewed episode out of all 14 seasons of TAR.
Only beat (not in order of viewers, too lazy).
Season 1: Season finale
Season 2: 3rd episode which aired I believe after Survivor
Season 5: 2 hour season finale
Season 6: 2 hour season finale
Season 7: 5 episodes in the season including the 2 hour season finale
Season 12: Season Preimere.
Its a great, great performance.
It makes our season average push over the 10 million and gives us a 3.0 18-49 average. We would like to stay close to that. So basically what happened is this made up for the terrible performance against the Oscars.

CBS.com Posts Record Month in Unique Viewers, Streams, and Minutes
Network Website had 21 million unique viewers for February
By David Tanklefsky -- Broadcasting & Cable, 3/24/2009 3:35:00 PM MT
CBS.com recorded a record-setting 21 million unique viewers for the month of February, with a 576% increase for the month compared to last year. The site also saw large year-by-year increases in streams (up 315%) and total minutes (up 452%).
“We continue to see growth to CBS.com as a result of our strategy to bring our content to where fans are through hundreds of CBS Audience Network partners," said Bill Binenstock, VP of CBS.com in a statement.
The growth of CBS.com is driven by a multi-partner syndication strategy which includes 300 partner sites that stream content from CBS.com through the audience network. CBS.com also capitalized on success of shows like The Amazing Race by building out behind-the-scenes video content related to the programming as well as games and online contest.
The network can also thank Joaquin Phoenix, whose incoherent rambling interview on David Letterman Feb. 11 delivered more than 7.5 million clips views online the week following the Late Show broadcast
