TV Ratings: CBS Sweeps Broadcast Top 10


CBC swept the top 10 shows in the broadcast TV ratings last week.

The feat was accomplished in spite of  The Walking Dead on AMC, which finished third out of broadcast and cable show with 13.7M viewers. But the other nine of the top 10 programs were all on the Tiffany Network.

CBS says that's the first time in a decade that one of the major broadcasters has pulled that off.Saturday's GOP debate was the No. 4 program, with 13.44M viewers.

Topping the list were NCIS, with 16.94M, and The Big Bang Theory, with 16.25M. A pair of NCIS spinoffs, along with Scorpion, Blue Bloods, Madam Secretary and 60 Minutes filled out the rest of the list.TNT  topped cable networks, averaging 2.37M prime-time viewers, ahead of Fox News 2.33M and AMC's 1.96M.

In news, NBC Nightly News led with 9.4M viewers.

In the season so far, CBS is unsurprisingly tops in prime-time viewers overall with an average 11.74M.
