’60 Minutes’ has best demo performance in 2 years

By Chris Ariens 

The New York Jets stunning win over the New England Patriots Sunday night boosted lead-out show “60 Minutes” into the top 5 of all programs last week. 17.40 million total viewers tuned in with the show earning a 5.4 rating / 12 share in the A25-54 demographic — the highest in that demo since Dec. 14, 2008. This is the fifth time in the last six telecasts that the program finished #5 or higher. The show won’t be on this Sunday as CBS airs the AFC Championship game (Jets v. Steelers) at 6:30pmET Sunday night.
