Network Ratings for Week Ending February 1, 2009

NBC Takes the week in Viewers and Demo, thanks to the domination of Super Bowl XLIII, the most watched SB ever. With the big boost, NBC leaps in to 3rd place, over ABC, in the season race. FOX also did some leaping in the Demo, now in 1st place, a tenth of a point ahead of CBS. Look for that lead to grow over the next 15 weeks.

The back and forth battle for 5th saw MyTV edge The CW this week despite a lower than expected turnout for the Broadcast Premiere of Napoleon Dynamite.
