Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers:
Fox: 11.26 million, NBC: 5.15, CBS: 4.70, ABC: 2.59, CW: 648,000

Fox: 2.9 rating/20 share, NBC: 0.9/ 6, CBS: 0.4/ 3, ABC: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

It was no contest with the Dallas Cowboys’ 27 to 17 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Fox’s Thursday Night Football well above the competition. See network averages above and keep in mind that results for any live event are approximate.

NBC was also live care of three hour musical Event “Annie Live!” at a very respectable (and second place) 5.15 million viewers and a 0.9 rating/6 share in adults 18-49 from 8-11 p.m. ET.

Also in the specials department was “ABC News: Alec Baldwin Unscripted” at 4.13 million viewers (#4) and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo (#4) in the Thursday 8 p.m. ET hour. That led into the two-hour season finale of “The Great Christmas Light Fight” at a modest 1.82 million viewers (#4) and a 0.3/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#4) from 9-11 p.m. Is it time to call this annual tradition quits?
