-Ratings Breakdown:
It was an easy Sunday overnight victory for CBS, which beat the three competing networks combined care of its combination of granddaddy “60 Minutes” (#1: 7.1 rating/13 share at 7 p.m.) and “The 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards” (8.8/14 from 8-11 p.m.). Comparably, “The ACM Awards” built by nine percent over the year-ago telecast (8.1/13 on 4/01/12), which translated into 13.09 million viewers and a 3.1 rating/8 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live Plus Same Day data).
Elsewhere, there was only one other original hour of programming, “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC, and it finished a distant second in the overnights with a 3.6/ 6 at 10 p.m. Comparably, this was 23 percent below the 4.7/ 8 for the two-hour edition on the comparable year-ago evening.
Earlier in the evening on NBC was a two-hour encore of “The Voice” at a 2.8/ 5 from 7-9 p.m., followed by a repeat of last week’s also one-hour episode of “Celebrity Apprentice” at a 2.0/ 3 (#3) from 9-10 p.m. Next Sunday, Donald Trump and company returns to the traditional two-hour format.
ABC populated the evening with repeats of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (#2: 3.7/ 7), “Once Upon a Time” (#3t: 2.0/ 3), “Revenge” (#3: 1.8/ 3) and “Red Widow” (#3: 1.6/ 3), which is not expected back for a second season. And Fox aired encores of animated “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 1.2/ 2), “The Cleveland Show” (#4: 1.2/ 2), “The Simpsons” (#3: 2.2/ 4), the regularly scheduled edition of “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 1.8/ 3), “Family Guy” (#2; 2.2/ 3) and another episode of “The Cleveland Show” (#2: 2.1/ 3).

About the Daily Ratings
Each day (except Sunday) we post the TV Ratings for the previous night.
The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above.
Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the
Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below)
