CBS PREMIERE WEEK AUDIENCE RISES +32% FROM 2022/2023

CBS Lands the Top 16 Shows of the Week, the First Time a Network Has Accomplished This Since at Least 1987

Multiplatform Viewership for CBS Primetime Series Across Broadcast and Streaming Platforms Soars Double Digits

"Tracker" Series Premiere Following Super Bowl Hits Nearly 28 Million Viewers in One Week in Multiplatform Viewing

The CBS Television Network's premiere week audience (Monday, Feb. 12 through Sunday, Feb. 18) jumped +32% among total viewers from its 2022/2023 opening week (Monday, Sep. 19 through Sunday, Sept. 25), while topping its closest competitor by an average of +2.4 million viewers. In a week where CBS launched the new season for 16 of its 19 primetime entertainment series, the Network averaged 5.08 million viewers compared to its September 2022 premiere week viewership of 3.85 million viewers.

CBS also placed the top 16 broadcast primetime programs last week (see table below), the first time any network has accomplished this since at least 1987, when Nielsen first introduced People-Meters. CBS was the #1 network every night it aired scripted originals (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday) and had the #1 show for six nights (Monday-Friday and Sunday).

"In an increasingly fragmented media world, CBS' programming strategy and audience reach continue to stand out and stand tall," said George Cheeks, CEO of CBS.

In addition to its broadcast strength, streaming viewership of CBS' primetime series across Paramount+, CBS.com and the CBS app was up +83% from last season's premiere week.

In one week in multiplatform viewing, TRACKER's series premiere has been seen by nearly 28 million viewers across all platforms since its post-Super Bowl debut. (This includes Live+SD viewing, 7-days of DVR/VOD playback and streaming on CBS TVE / Paramount+, and viewing of the Feb. 15 encore.)

"As soon as the strikes ended, we focused on a programming and promotional plan to launch our new season following the Super Bowl," said Reisenbach. "Our loyal and new viewers overwhelmingly responded and welcomed back their favorite shows in a big way."
