The week of April 13-19 had a fairly typical broadcast prime-time spring pattern. Fox dominated the competition in the main age demographic categories and CBS edged Fox for the top average viewership.
And while Univision was close in the adults 18-34 demo, both ABC and NBC managed to finish ahead of it for the week, something they haven't always been able to manage this spring. Univision did beat CBS in the 18-34 demo, something it has been doing routinely.
Tiny Network Smackdown Update! MyNetworkTV beat the CW in average viewership for the week, but the CW was the victor in all the main age demos.
