Return Of NFL Opening Week Scores Big For NBC!


The 2005-2006 TV Season: Summer Week 14

Top 10 Prime Time TV Shows Week Of September 4-10, 2006

(Here are the rankings for national prime-time network television last week as compiled by Nielsen Media Research. They are based on the average number of people who watched a program from start to finish. Nielsen estimates there are 277.93 million potential viewers in the U.S. ages 2 and older. Viewership is listed in millions.)

Rank Program Network Viewers

1 NBC Sunday Night Football 22.57
2 House Fox 19.65
3 NBC NFL Thursday Special 19.20
4 Sunday Night NFL Pre-Game NBC 14.50
5 Thursday Night NFL Pre-Game NBC14.02
6 Standoff Fox 13.63
7 ABC Football-Ohio State-Texas 13.27
8 Fox Sunday NFL Overrun 12.12
9-t The Simpsons Fox 11.63
9-t Football Night in America Post Game NBC 11.63

(Editor's Note: Could be GE might have second thoughts of dumping the USA's number 4 network as recent national rumors have been suggesting. This is the first we have seen CBS shutout. 7 of the 10 top ten this week were football. It must be the smell of the artificial turf in the fall air)

"Congress passed a law on February 1, 2006, setting a final deadline for the DTV transition of February 17, 2009. Most television stations will continue broadcasting both analog and digital programming until February 17, 2009, when all analog broadcasting will stop.." FCC http://www.dtv.gov/

The EYE is STILL watching and doesn't like what they can't (W)SEE.
