NETWORK RATINGS ROUNDUP, MARCH 6-12
34th Time A Charm For CBS’s ‘ ‘Survivor’
NEW YORK (AP) — “Survivor” has returned to CBS’ schedule — for the 34th time — and it remains one of television’s top 20 shows.
The Nielsen company said the debut of a new “Survivor” edition with host Jeff Probst was seen by 7.7 million viewers last week. The 18 most-watched primetime programs last week were either on CBS and NBC, with AMC’s “The Walking Dead” the lone exception. Thirteen of those shows were on CBS.
Nielsen released its weekly ratings on Thursday, two days later than normal, because of a power outage over the weekend at one of its facilities in Florida.
