Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 11/23/14

ABC presented the AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS on Sunday night, elevating the network to a solid second place in the A18-49 ratings. The music awards show generated 11.5 million viewers and a 3.8 demo rating. That is down from last year's show by 1.6 million viewers and off by 16% in the A18-49 demographic.

Winning the night was the Cowboys vs Giants game on SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. The preliminary ratings have it close to twenty million viewers, but expect a nice jump of the viewership when finals are released on Tuesday afternoon. It could be one of the top 4 games of the season.

CBS did well, thanks to the NFL Overrun game, buy about 45 minutes. Most of the preliminary numbers are estimates we will get a better look once finals are released.

What is it about all the repeat episodes of FAMILY GUY this fall? This is like the third time this season we've seen an encore episode, mixed in with originals from the rest of the line up.
