-Ratings Breakdown:
The Denver Broncos at the New England Patriots on “Sunday Night Football” led NBC to another easy overnight victory, with an estimated 17.0 rating/28 share from 8:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. But ABC was no slouch care of “The 2013 American Music Awards” at an 8.2/12 in the overnights from 8-11 p.m. Comparably, that outdelived the year-ago telecast (6.6/10 on 11/18/12) by 24 percent. And last year’s telecast translated into 9.52 million viewers and a 3.4 rating/8 share among adults 18-49, according to the live plus same day data. Expect a demo rating in the low-4 range.
At 7 p.m. on ABC was veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at a distant third-place 3.5/ 6 at 7 p.m., which was down by eight percent from the year-ago evening. And pre-game “Football Night in America” scored a 1.9/ 3 at 7 p.m. (#4), a 3.7/ 6 at 7:30 p.m. (#4) and a first-place 10.3/16 at 8 p.m.
Elsewhere, Fox got a considerable boost care of the NFL primetime overrun at a 17.3/28 (#1) in the 7 p.m. half-hour. That led into a dominant 14.4/23 for “The OT” at 7:30 p.m., followed by the animated rotation of “The Simpsons” (#4: 4.7/ 7), “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 2.9/ 4), “Family Guy” (#4: 3.2/ 5) and “American Dad” (#4: 2.5/ 4). As a reminder, “American Dad” moves to TBS in originals next season.
CBS, meanwhile, was on par with recent levels (despite the increased competition) with its rotation of granddaddy “60 Minutes” (#2: 8.0/13), “The Amazing Race” (#3: 5.5/ 8), “The Good Wife” (#3: 6.8/10) and “The Mentalist” (#3: 7.2/12).

About the Daily Ratings
Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the
Ratings Database.
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).
Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.
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). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.
