QUICK TAKES - Oct. 28, 2009
A coast-to-coast baseball playoff series involving New York and Los Angeles almost -- but not quite -- enabled Fox to loosen CBS’ stranglehold on the prime-time television ratings lead last week.
Four games of the Yankees-Angels series on Fox were ranked among Nielsen’s top 25 shows for the week. But of the 12 scripted shows in the top 25, nine of them were on CBS, including top-rated “NCIS.â€
CBS averaged 10.7 million viewers for the week. Fox was second with 10.3 million.
The list of prime-time ratings will be published in Calendar later this week.
