CBS Scores Big With Record NFL Audience
CBS’s Thursday Night Football set a series high with its second season debut Thursday night. The game, which aired on both CBS and the NFL Network averaged a 14.3 household rating, according to Nielsen metered-market ratings.
Network execs are meeting with NFL execs in Manhattan this week to discuss the bids they submitted for a slate of Thursday night games. It is thought the NFL will decide on the winning bidder within several days, and a formal announcement could come as soon as next week.
