tv ratings breakdown for Monday night: NETWORK Monday 10/28/13 Metered Markets Baseball Wins; Multiple Success for Diversified Slate Household Rating/Share Fox 9.2/14 ABC 8.4/13 NBC 7.9/12 CBS 4.6/ 7 CW 1.0/ 2 ---------- -Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Monday 10/29/12: Fox: +441, CW: +100, NBC: +11, CBS: no change, ABC: -13 ---------- -Winners: “The World Series,” Game 5 (Fox), “Dancing With the Stars” (ABC), “The Voice” (NBC), “The Blacklist” (NBC), “Castle” (ABC) -Honorable Mention: “How I Met Your Mother” (CBS), “2 Broke Girls” (CBS), “The Big Bang Theory” R (CBS) -Losers (excluding repeats): “Hart of Dixie” (CW), “Beauty and the Beast” (CW), “Hostages” (CBS) ---------- -Ratings Breakdown: Game 5 of “The World Series” (Boston 3, St. Louis 1) led Fox to an unprecedented Monday overnight victory with an estimated 9.2 rating/14 share from 8-11 p.m. (peaking in the 10 p.m. half-hour, with an 11.8/18). But ABC and NBC were also on the map, with the three networks combined totaling a 25.5/39 in primetime. Factor in the 4.6/ 7 for CBS and the Big 4 networks scored a 30.1 overnight household rating. In other words, never underestimate the value of a diversified programming slate on the broadcast networks. There is room for multiple hit shows competing against each other. The mammoth year-to-year growth for Fox -- +441 percent -- was a result of an encore of “The X Factor” airing one year earlier. In the 8-10 p.m. battle of “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC versus “The Voice” on NBC, a 9.1/14 for still healthy “Dancing With the Stars” was 10 percent above the 8.3/13 for “The Voice.” But “The Voice,” of course, will hold a double-digit demo advantage, while “Dancing With the Stars” remains more of an option for the older viewers. Note to departed Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi: not enough of the “Jersey Shore” audience was probably watching, unfortunately. Next week’s edition of “Dancing With the Stars” will feature guest judge Cher in place of Len Goodman. A solid second behind baseball in the 10 p.m. hour was “The Blacklist” on NBC, with a 7.0/12 (and growth of 27 percent from year-ago occupant “Revolution” – 5.5/ 9 on 10/29/12). Competing “Castle” on ABC scored a comfortable 6.8/11 at 10 p.m., followed by lackluster “Hostages” at CBS at a very last-place 3.3/ 5. One year earlier (and minus baseball in the competitive mix), former occupant “Hawaii Five-O” was considerably stronger at a 5.3/ 8 (on 10/29/12). Over at CBS, the 8-10 p.m. sitcom block -- “How I Met Your Mother” (#4: 5.6/ 9), “2 Broke Girls” (#4: 5.4/ 8), an encore of “The Big Bang Theory” (#4: 5.5/ 8) and “Mom” (#4” 4.7/ 7) -- were all on par with their week-ago overnight performances (despite facing “The World Series”). Next week, “Mike & Molly” returns for its fourth season-opener at 9 p.m. Given the severity of the competition, struggling CW dramas “Hart of Dixie” (#5: 1.2/ 2) and “Beauty and the Beast” (#5: 0.8/ 1) could not gain any traction.
