Monday Final Nationals: CBS Rock Solid Despite Seven-Year Grammys Low

CBS crushed its Monday competition due to the telecast of the “58th Annual Grammy Awards”. Although the 211-minute event drew solid figures all around — especially during these times on TV — it was the least-watched, lowest-rated (in adults 18-49) Grammys since Feb. 8, 2009 (19.05 million, 7.4 adults 18-49 rating).

The Grammys aired on a non-Sunday night for the first time since Feb. 8, 2006 (which was a Wednesday).
