By Chris Ariens 

While the weekday network morning shows struggle to grow their audience, CBS Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley continues to see viewer growth.

Last Sunday’s show was watched by 6.22 million viewers, nearly 2 million more than the 4.36 million NBC’s Today show (the No. 1 weekday morning show) averaged last week.

That’s up +2 percent vs. the same Sunday last year. Sunday Morning averaged a 1.2 rating in adults 25-54, ahead of its season average of 1.1.
