CBS still dominates the to 30 viewers chart, taking three of the top four spots, plus 16 total programs in the top 30. ABC placed eight shows on the chart, but this time, all but one program is above 20th.

Six of the top 12 programs are the reality competition series. IDOL performs the best at ranking #3 and #6. DANCING WITH THE STARS put their two edition in at #5 and #7, while the voice is down at #9 and #12.

ABC closes out as the #2 network. It ranked 2nd in viewers (7.85 million) and Households (5.1 rating),  tied for third, with NBC, in A25-54 (2.4 rating) but finished in 4th place in the important A18-49 ratings (2.2).

FOX edged NBC for third as it drew more viewers (7.06 million), was second in A18-49 (2.5 rating) and A25-54 (2.9 rating), but finished fourth in households (4.3 rating).

NBC was the #1 network the first half of the season. But the loss of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in the spring and the 3 months off for THE VOICE, plus horrible mid-season performances by 90% of its line up, the network dropped to 4th placed to finish the season. It ranked fourth in viewers (6.96 million), third in A18-49 (2.4 rating), and third in households (4.4 rating).

THE CW finished 5th in all categories, but the real test for the network comes this summer as ION-TV usually wins most weeks against the CW's very weak summer lineup.
