Video Report: Broadcast Nets Enjoy Strong Premiere Week

Premiere week was a good week for broadcasters, as viewers returned to network shows in large numbers–and, in CBS’ case, in larger numbers than the previous season. CSI: Miami drew 17.23 viewers, and a 5.2/13 in adults 18-49, up 13 percent in the demo. NCIS attracted 18.03 million viewers, and a 3.6/10 in adults 18-49, up 13 percent in demo as well.  
 
Against those shows, cable’s scripted series may have suffered. But between Wall Street crashing, and the presidential candidates burning, cable news is sure to have prospered.
