TV Ratings for Week of Sept. 10 - 16
It's a repeat of last week with NBC and NFL on top; CBS is again top network

(September 18, 2007) Viewers are settling into their habits for the fall season, and the usual suspects are coming out on top. NFL Sunday Night Football gave NBC first and second place on the list of the 25 most popular shows in black households. CBS took third through fifth place. Things may get shook up next week as the premieres of new shows come on line.

With nine shows on the chart, CBS easily took the week’s top network honors. NBC and Fox tied for second place with five shows each. NBC had four and ABC two.

The total number of black households watching the top 25 shows was 22.05 million, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s a 10 percent drop from the previous week’s total.
