NBC takes the top spot yet again, with ABC and CBS following. NBC was the only network to improve its total viewers average over the week, and it also posted gains in households and adults 25-54.
It’s also worth noting that CBS isn’t doing all that much better than Bob Schieffer’s last week back in August of this year (7.242M with Scheiffer to 7.294M with Couric).

The program averaged a 0.9 household rating and 944,000 total viewers, 577,000 P25-54, 698,000 P18-49 from 11:00PM to 5:00AM.
The program registered its largest audience in its first hour; 1.3 household rating and 1.4 million total viewers.
Those ratings in the time period (11:00PM to 5:00AM) registered gains of 80% in households, 119% in P25-54, 174% in P18-49 and 107% in total viewers.
It was the highest rated 11:00PM to 5:00AM period since January of 2002.

All three programs improved their audience from the week prior, but placements remain the same with NBC finishing in first, followed by ABC and then CBS.
The Katie Couric experiment seems to have failed, as viewers from the same frame last season when Bob Schieffer was the host are virtually identical to the current audience (7.338 million for Schieffer vs. 7.332 million for Couric).
