It's especially pleasing to be able to share this with a lot of people who have been through some long, dark days here and now have emerged into the sunlight. The program has experimented in recent months by turning over more than half of some broadcasts to single topics, like the economy, sexual harassment, Iraq and the nation's parks system. Brokaw's broadcast won last week, too. It had a 7.2 rating and 17 share for the week, followed by CBS's 6.7 rating and 16 share and ABC's 6.6 and 16. A rating point represents 980,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 98 million TV homes.
Share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week in prime-time, CBS had a 6.3 rating and 12 share, NBC had a 6.2 rating and 12 share and ABC had a 5.6 rating and 11 share. Fox was fourth with a 4.9 rating and 10 share, followed by the WB's 2.2 and 4, and UPN's 1.7 and 3. The Associated Press . All rights reserved.
