FOX Knocks NBC Off 18-49 Perch

Thanks to the World Series, FOX broke NBC’s winning streak in the 18-49 demo last week. It was the least-watched World Series in history, though. The network couldn’t even boast the week’s highest-rated sports program, which belonged to NBC’s Sunday Night Football with 17.73 million viewers. The highest rated game of the series, Game 4, averaged 15.49 million.
FOX also snatched the total viewership crown from CBS, which had won it four weeks running. Still, though network produced the week’s most watched show, ‘NCIS,’ which barely beat football with 17.78 million viewers. The network also did well with ‘NCIS: Los Angeles,’ ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘Person of Interest,’ among others.’
ABC was boosted by ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and ‘Modern Family,’ while NBC benefited from the strong performance of ‘The Voice.’
