Broadcast TV Ratings for Sunday, March 16, 2008 March 17, 2008 2:45 pm

ABC led the field Sunday night, but the network’s two new series Oprah’s Big Give and Here Come the Newlyweds continue to fade. The 9:00-11:00 time period in which both shows air was down nearly 2 million (1.99M) or 19% among viewers and 25% among adults 18-49 from the week prior as both shows (individually) failed to reach 10 million viewers.

Overall since their series premieres, ‘Big Give’ is down 5.97M or 38% among viewers and 32% among adults 18-49 and ‘Newlyweds’ is down 3.14M or 31% among viewers and 29% among A18-49.

Elsewhere on the evening, CBS and NBC remained consistent in second place and third place respectively, while Fox stayed back in fourth among total viewers, but managed a solid second place finish among A18-49 thanks to its comedy (repeat and original) lineup.

The CW, meanwhile, was nearly invisible in last place on the evening, with original episodes of Everybody Hates Chris and Aliens in America drawing just over 1 million (1.12M) and under 1 million (0.87M) respectively.

Keep in mind that The CW renewed Everybody Hates Chris. That should tell you all you need to know about the condition the struggling network is in.
