CBS Claimed All 10 of Broadcast's Most-Watched Shows for the Second Straight Week

Buoyed by the Grammys

It's been two weeks since Super Bowl 50, but CBS is still on a ratings roll. For the week ending Feb. 21, CBS aired all of the top 11 broadcast shows in total viewers, marking the second consecutive week that the network claimed the 10 most-watched broadcast programs.

It's the first time any network has accomplished that feat since Nielsen began reporting live-plus-same-day ratings in December 2005.

The network kicked off last week with Monday's Grammy Awards, which drew the lowest ratings for the telecast in seven years—25 million total viewers—but was still large enough to be the most-watched program.
