With just 2 days left in the 2015 February Sweeps, CBS finished #1 on Tuesday in the U.S. ITV finished #1 in the UK. Seven again finished #1 in Australia.
Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.

CBS #1 on Tuesday as ‘NCIS’ draws over 17 million viewers.
CBS
The Tiffany Network (“If it’s Tuesday, it’s CBS!) powered through with another Tuesday night victory, led by the world #1 drama. AT 8P, ‘NCIS’, again was #1 for the evening with an episode that was one of the most unique in its history, pulled in an average of 17.43 million viewers and a 10.4 rating and a 16 share in households. This was a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode. AT 9P, ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ had a bitter-sweet episode about a dead Navy woman and an excellent who-done-it regarding her murder as it averaged 13.84 million viewers and a 8.0/12. At 10P, ‘Person of Interest’, picked up its writing and came up with a good episode as the boys again went back to protecting rather than fighting the competitor of the machine, and finished with an average of 9.47 million viewers and a 6.0/10. Each program was #1 in its time slot.
NBC
The Peacock Network began the evening with a strong performance. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ delivered 13.80 million viewers and a 9.3/14 in the household overnights. This was 18% above the 7.9/12 for the program a year-ago. At 10P, series-finale of ‘Parks and Recreation’ finished third in a three program race as it drew an average of 4.2 million viewers and a 3.2/5. At 1030P, ‘Parks and Recreation’ completed its run with an average of 4.20 million viewers and a 2.5/4.
ABC
The Alphabet Network finished well behind the leading two networks on the night. At 8P, ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ finished with an average of 5.79 million viewers and a 4.0/6 (#3). At 830P, ‘Repeat After Me”’ slipped to an average of 3.89 million viewers and a 2.6/4. At 9P, ‘Marvel’s Agent Carter’ closed it series finale with an average of 4.00 million viewers and a 2.5/4. Then at 10P, ‘Forever’, with an episode that could very well be one if its finest, and a Must See TV ON DEMAND episode, brought in an average of 4.60 million viewers and a 3.5/6, good for #2 in its time slot, which was 30% above the debut of failed drama ‘Mind Games’ which a year-ago brought in 2.7/5. ‘Forever’ is the sleeper of the year and is one of the very good programs that should be renewed. This program grows on you, week after week. And it cast is one of the best in television.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast just didn’t have the programming to compete on this evening. At 8P, the season-finale of ‘MasterChef Junior’ brought in an average of 4.80 million viewers and a 3.4/5. But at 9P, the once promising comedy ‘New Girl’ slipped to an average of 2.90 million viewers and a 2.1/3. At 930P, Murdoch’s Minions slipped even further as ‘The Mindy Project’ drew an average of 2.36 million viewers and a 1.8/3.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t just had no ammo in its belt to compete. At 8P, ‘TV’s Hottest Commercials Countdown’ finished with an average of 1.40 million viewers and a 1.0/2. At 9P, a rerun of ‘The Flash’ doesn’t perform well at this hour as it drew an average of 1.12 million viewers and a 0.9/1.
For The Record
CBS again was #1 on Tuesday as it drew an average of 13.577 million viewers and a 8.2/13. NBC finished #2 with an average of 10.611 million viewers and a 7.1/11. ABC finished #3 with an average of 4.496 million viewers and a 3.1/5. FOX finished with an average of 3.716 million viewers and a 2.6/4. Univision finished with an average of 3.242 million viewers and a 1.6/3. Telemundo finished with an average of 1.5 million viewers and a 0.8/1. The CW finished with an average of 1.257 million viewers and a 0.9/1.
