Thanks to Dancing, ABC Wins Premiere Week

Last week was ‘premiere’ week in the world of television and here’s how it all went down.

ABC was numero uno! On average, the alphabet network was able to get 12.3 million people to their channel.

CBS came in #2 with 11.3 million on average tuning in during premiere week.

NBC was in third place. They averaged an embarassing 8.3 million that week.

ABC was propelled to the top spot by the ‘strong’ (compared to their rival nets’ shows) opening by Dancing With the Stars and Grey’s Anatomy (but, mind you Grey’s opened 18% down from the previous season).

Congrats Mouse channel!
