SURVIVOR won its time period in viewers and adults 25-54 and was a very close second in adults 18-49, while CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION was first at 10:00 PM in key ratings measures, leading CBS to a premiere Wednesday victory in viewers, according to Nielsen preliminary live plus same day ratings for Sept. 26.

At 9:00 PM, CRIMINAL MINDS (P) was first in households (7.3/11) and second in viewers (11.59m, -0.15m behind ABC), while averaging 3.9/09 in adults 25-54 and 3.1/08 in adults 18-49.

Note: DVR penetration is at 46%, up from 42% last season. Last fall, Live+7 audiences for original entertainment series on CBS averaged more than a +1.4 million viewer gain over live plus same day ratings, more than any other network. This season, we expect DVR usage to continue to expand, increasing DVR playback deliveries.
