Much was made of Katie Couric coming to CBS for the evening news, and most assumed the move would put CBS on top of the evening news ratings hunt.

The first broadcast of CBS Evening News with Katie Couric averaged 13.59M viewers, but ever since then ratings have been dropping (the 2nd broadcast lost 22%) and NBC’s Nightly News with Brian Williams has now passed her for first place in weekly ratings.

Here are the ratings for the week of September 18th to the 22nd:

NBC – Nightly News with Brian Williams

  • 5.7/12 HH Rating
  • 2.1 A25-54 Rating
  • 8,182,000 Viewers

CBS – Evening News with Katie Couric

  • 5.5/11 HH Rating
  • 2.1 A25-54 Rating
  • 7,690,000 Viewers

ABC – World News with Charles Gibson

  • 5.4/11 HH Rating
  • 2.1 A25-54 Rating
  • 7,580,000 Viewers

Fall 2006 TV Review, Part Five (“Heroes” and “Runaway”) September 25, 2006 2:46 pm

Before we get going on the next part of my Fall 2006 Review feature (here is part one, part two, part three and part four), let’s recap the series premiere ratings from Sunday evening, of which there was only one.

Brothers & Sisters

Averaged a 10.7/17 HH Rating with a 6.2 A18-49 rating (16.10M viewers). So far, this is the best new series premiere of the season. It is of course down from the same time period last season which was held by Grey’s Anatomy (18.98M viewers). However, it is on par, in terms of viewers, with the series launch of Grey’s Anatomy two years ago (16.25M viewers. This is a very good sampling of viewers, and the high A18-49 rating (3rd for the evening) should make ABC happy.

Alright, now let’s move on to my mini-review feature. Two new shows premiere this evening; Heroes and Runaway, and both at the same time; 9PM.
