NEW YORK Midway through the November 2008 sweeps, three networks — ABC, CBS and NBC (yes, NBC!) — are sharing leadership, according to Nielsen Media Research data. 

CBS is the most-watched network (with 470,000 more viewers than second-place ABC).  ABC is first in adults 18-49 and adults 25-54. And ABC and NBC are tied for No. 1 among adults 18-34. 

But all three networks are down year-to-year. The biggest loser is Fox, which finished fourth in three of the four surveyed categories (excluding adults 18-34), and is down by margins of 15 to 19 percent.
