>Subject: Nielsen Ratings Report  WE April 5, 1992 

Ratings information comes from the A.C. Nielsen Co.  Number of viewers
is in millions; a ratings point represents 921,000 households; shares
are the percentage of sets in use.  A (*) indicates a Nielsen ratings
tie; (r), repeat episode; (s), special broadcast.

Please note that rankings are based on the ratings points (number of
households) and not on the number of viewers: this is why a show with
100 people watching while alone in the room will rank higher than a
show being watched in 10 households with 10 people in each room.

top rated show this week: Academy Awards (ABC)
lowest rating: 89 - True Colors (Fox)
