    NEW YORK (AP) --

    “Survivor” has returned to CBS’ schedule – for the 34th time – and it remains one of television’s top 20 shows.

    The Nielsen company said the debut of a new “Survivor” edition with host Jeff Probst was seen by 7.7 million viewers last week. The 18 most-watched prime-time programs last week were either on CBS and NBC, with AMC’s “The Walking Dead” the lone exception. Thirteen of those shows were on CBS.

    Nielsen released its weekly ratings on Thursday, two days later than normal, because of a power outage over the weekend at one of its facilities in Florida.

    CBS won the week in prime-time, averaging 7.3 million viewers. NBC was second with 5.9 million, and won the 18-to-49-year-old age group that advertisers covet. ABC had 4.4 million, Fox had 2.6 million, Univision had 1.7 million, the CW had 1.34 million, Telemundo had 1.33 million and ION Television had 1.2 million.

    Fox News Channel was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 2.43 million viewers. ESPN had 1.75 million, HGTV had 1.65 million, MSNBC had 1.64 million and Discovery had 1.5 million.

    ABC’s “World News Tonight” topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8.4 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” had 8.3 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 6.7 million.

    Below are primetime viewership numbers compiled by Nielsen for March 6-12. Listings include the week’s ranking and viewership.

    The End of The “Rust” Criminal Case Against Alec Baldwin May Unlock A Civil Lawsuit

    Tuesday, December 24, 2024

    The conclusion of a criminal case against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer clears the way for a related civil lawsuit by relatives of the deceased woman and efforts to depose the actor under oath, attorneys for plaintiffs in the civil suit said Tuesday.

    At a news conference in Los Angeles, victims' rights attorney Gloria Allred said that the parents and younger sister of deceased cinematographer Halyna Hutchins were disappointed that prosecutors won't appeal the dismissal of an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin. The criminal charge against Baldwin was dismissed halfway through trial in July on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense.
