Friday Final Nationals: CBS and NBC Share Leadership on Uneventful Night

4 Comments

Just three-and-a-half hours of broadcast network television were original on this Friday prime time — only 30 minutes of that were not associated with its respective network news division. Yet it was the rerun-filled CBS to lead in total viewers (4.5 million) while NBC topped all key demos: adults 18-49 (0.8 rating/4 share), adults 18-34 (0.4/2) and adults 25-54 (1.0/4).
