The limited reach of NFL Network didn’t hurt the ratings for the Packers/Cowboys match-up.

Despite being available in only 35 million homes, NFL Network set a new record, as the highly hyped Dallas Cowboys/Green Bay Packers match-up produced an incredibly strong 14.6 coverage household rating, and over 10 million viewers.

Broadcast TV Ratings for Monday, December 3, 2007 December 5, 2007 1:30 pm

With Dancing With the Stars no longer on the lineup, CBS’s evening of repeats led the night, giving the network a win among households and viewers.

NBC though took first place for the evening among adults 18-49, courtesy the season finale of Heroes, which did well overall, but couldn’t capitalize on the reduced competition and surprisingly decreased week-to-week in each category. Life saw a slight increase with its special airing out of Heroes. Earlier in the evening, Chuck held steady from the week prior.

Meanwhile on ABC, the network suffered significantly with the loss of Dancing With the Stars. Every series was down from the week prior, with the once promising Samantha Who? posting series low numbers, proving that unfortunately its prior successes had more to do with its strong Dancing With the Stars lead-in. Notes from the Underbelly fell flat in week two of the new season, while October Road shows no signs of being any sort of hit for the network.
