Friday’s Numbers
By fred | May 4, 2008
Another Friday like you’d expect them to be : a clear win for CBS, both in viewers and on the demo. While all of CBS programs went over 2.0 on the demo, no other program could even reach it, except for the at hour of Dateline at 10.00 And if it wasn’t for Numb3rs (10.2 million), no program would have reached 10 million viewers - the highest being 9.2 million viewers for Ghost Whisperer at 8.00
Ghost Whisperer was up by 200 000 viewers since last week, ABC was up by 1.3 million viewers with a new installment of 20/20, while Fox was down 400 000 viewers and once again finished the night dead last, even beaten by The CW.
At 9.00 Moonlight had 7.9 million viewers and a 2.1 on the demo, pretty much like last week, or before the strike for that matter. In fact, all CBS shows from Fridays have hold on pretty good since the strike ended, and while big hits have suffered loss of viewers, no such thing on Friday.
Same goes for Numb3rs, at 10.00, with 10.2 million viewers and a 2.4 on the demo, making it the most-watched show of the night, and on the demo.
