With three nights to go, CBS and NBC claimed victory Monday in the May sweep (April 26-May 23) in total viewers and the adults 18-49 demographic, respectively.

A “Survivor”-boosted CBS has averaged 12.7 million viewers during the May book through Sunday, while NBC has pulled a 5.0 rating/14 share in adults 18-49.

The peacock also is assured of a first-place finish for the 2000-01 season in the key 18-49 demo (4.8/13), but CBS is in a near dead-heat with ABC for the season total viewers crown.
