CBS CONTINUES POST-OLYMPIC WINNING STREAK, EARNING ITS SEVENTH STRAIGHT WEEKLY WIN

CBS Has Been First in Adults 18-49 Since the End of the Olympics

In a Week with Nearly Half its Schedule in Rebroadcasts, CBS is First in Viewers and Adults 25-54

An Original "The Good Wife" Tops Sunday in Viewers and All Weekly Cable Programs

CBS continued its post-Olympic winning streak, placing first in viewers for the seventh consecutive week and first in adults 25-54 for the fifth consecutive week, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for the holiday week ending April 20, Week 30 of the 2013-2014 television season.

In the eight weeks since the end of NBC's coverage of the Winter Olympics on Feb. 24, CBS has increased its viewer lead by +720,000 and ranks first in adults 18-49 (2.3/07, tie) and adults 25-54 (3.1/08).

In a week with nearly half its schedule in rebroadcasts, CBS had six of the top 10 programs, with several of its encores delivering more viewers than first-run programming on the competition.

A special rebroadcast of THE BIG BANG THEORY was the most-watched show on Thursday delivering 10.91 million viewers, more than the season finale of "Scandal" (10.57m). An encore of BLUE BLOODS (8.54m) was Friday's top program, with the rebroadcast out-delivering the two weekly editions of "American Idol" and an original episode of "Grey's Anatomy."

Among the Network's original programs, NCIS (17.12m) ranked #1 for the week, NCIS: LOS ANGELES (14.69m) ranked #3, and THE GOOD WIFE, #11, topped Sunday in viewers (9.15m) and beat every cable program in viewers last week.
