NBC continues to rate incredibly well during the new year, as the network was once again the most-watched for the evening among households, viewers and adults 18-49, with strong numbers from week two of the new season of The Biggest Loser and season-high numbers for the nights most-watched program Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Elsewhere on the evening, CBS’s presentation of The 38th Annual People’s Choice Awards was very negatively affected by the changed format (due to the WGA writers strike) as the program posted series low numbers (off a staggering 56% among viewers and 54% among adults 18-49 from the year prior).
The CW got some good news, as the season five premiere of One Tree Hill got off to a great start (mostly on par with last season’s premiere), giving the network a much needed ratings boost.
ABC meanwhile struggled, dropping to a very weak last place for the evening among adults 18-49, as the network failed to successfully return Carpoolers and According to Jim posted another poor showing after last week’s season premiere. The networks coverage of The 2008 New Hampshire Primary also failed to garner many eyeballs to the network.

Fox has no trouble taking the evening thanks to the networks broadcast of the BCS National Championship Game, despite the game posting numbers well below last year’s game.
Elsewhere on the evening was the series premiere of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann on ABC, which had a respectable debut. On NBC, episode two of American Gladiators held on to a solid portion of its series premiere numbers from the night before, and Medium premiered on par with last seasons premiere.

NBC holds off ABC and the rest of the nets to take first place for the evening among households, viewers and adults 18-49, mostly on the strength of the season premiere of 1 vs. 100. Returning shows Friday Night Lights and Las Vegas returned with numbers mostly on par with their last newly aired episodes.

NBC continues to perform well with their season premieres, as the network manages a solid tie for first among households, was just 30,000 viewers away from first among total viewers, and posted a tie for first among adults 18-49.
The solid showing was due to another impressive outing from Deal or No Deal and a much-needed strong premiere for the new season of The Apprentice (The Celebrity Apprentice).
Fox meanwhile tied for first among households, but came out on top among viewers, again just slightly, and was tied for first among adults 18-49 thanks to its Orange Bowl coverage. Good news for the network was slight growth from the year prior for the bowl game.
CBS meanwhile managed to hold their own, despite airing an entire evening of repeats. In fact, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was the nights most-watched program among both households and viewers.

NBC holds off Fox’s presentation of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowlwhich rated below last season’s airing. NBC was helped by a strong showing from Deal or No Deal and an even stronger showing from the season premiere of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the nights most-watched program.
While NBC took the win among households and viewers, Fox still rated slightly better among adults 18-49, while ABC managed a tie with NBC for second thanks to the networks returning reality lineup of Wife Swap and Supernanny which both posted solidi ncreases from last year’s premiere.

Overall weak evening results in surprisingly close numbers between all five networks, with just under 1.5 million separating the nights most-watched network (CBS) and the nights least-watched network (CW).
Fox and NBC shared the Adults 18-49 win.

A dual dose of CSI repeats (New York and original editions) were strong enough to keep CBS well in front on this Thursday evening. (more…)

A close Tuesday night results in split victories for CBS and NBC, as CBS takes the overall audience win and NBC takes the A18-49 crown, easily, thanks to the season finale of The Biggest Loser.
In the game show vs. game show contest between ABC’s Duel and NBC’s Clash of the Choirs, ‘Choirs’ comes away with the victory.
My full analysis of the nights programs follows after the jump.

The season finale of Survivor: China finishes on a high note, as the program posts strong cycle to cycle gains from last May’s Survivor: Fiji. It was down though compared to last year’s Cook Islands cycle. Regardless, the program, and the reunion special afterwards, provided CBS with a strong household and viewers win for the evening.
Fox took the A18-49 crown thanks to an NFL Overrun and new (and repeat) episodes of their animated comedy lineup.
My full analysis of the nights programs follows after the jump.
