Fast National ratings for Tuesday, March 9, 2010
“American Idol” was once again Tuesday’s most-watched show, but CBS’ strength at 9 and 10 o’clock gave the network a win for the night.
CBS scored 16.8 million viewers and a 10.4 rating/17 share in primetime, beating the 15.2 million viewers and 8.7/14 for FOX. NBC (7.3 million, 4.6/8) came in third, followed by ABC (6.2 million, 3.9/6). The return of “90210″ and “Melrose Place” originals helped The CW some, but not a ton, as it drew 1.4 million people and a 1.0/2.
FOX did win the adults 18-49 demo with a 5.6 rating, finishing well ahead of CBS’ 3.4. NBC took third with a 2.9. ABC’s 2.4 was good for fourth, while The CW trailed at 0.7.

8 p.m.
FOX: “American Idol” (22.6 million viewers, 12.7/20 households)
CBS: “NCIS” (19.5 million, 12.0/19)
