"Criminal Minds" In Its Most Competitive Position to a First Run "Lost"

CBS Is First in Viewers and Competitive Second in Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54 With Its Highest Rated and Most Watched Wednesday Since Last March

Last night's CSI: NY, the conclusion of a crossover with Monday's episode of CSI: MIAMI, dominated its time period competition as it delivered its most watched episode since September 2004 and highest rated in key demographics in nearly a year, according to preliminary Nielsen affiliate ratings for Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Freshman drama CRIMINAL MINDS was second in households (9.8/15), viewers (15.05m), adults 25-54 (5.7/13) and adults 18-49 (4.3/11). CRIMINAL MINDS finished in its closest competitive position to a first run episode of "Lost" to date in households, viewers, adults 18-34 (3.3/11), adults 18-49 and adults 25-54. CRIMINAL MINDS delivered its best households, viewers, adults 18-34, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 delivery to date against a first run "Lost" episode and the program's second best delivery on a Wednesday ever in those key measures.
