    NEW YORK (AP) --

    Family-friendly programming is doing well this holiday season for NBC, which has a rare three-week winning streak in the television ratings.

    The Dolly Parton movie, “Coat of Many Colors,” reached more than 13 million viewers. That landed the program in the Nielsen company’s weekly Top Ten last week, and exceeded the viewership for the live production of “The Wiz” earlier this month. Preliminary ratings show that NBC did well on Monday night with the Adele concert special.

    NBC averaged 8.6 million viewers in prime time. CBS had 8 million viewers, ABC had 4.5 million, Fox had 4.3 million, Univision had 2 million, the CW had 1.7 million, Telemundo had 1.6 million and ION Television had 1.3 million.

    ESPN was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 3 million viewers in prime time. TBS had 2.11 million viewers, Fox News Channel had 1.92 million, AMC had 1.79 million and USA had 1.67 million.

    NBC’s “Nightly News” topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9 million viewers. ABC’s “World News Tonight” was second with 8.5 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 7.5 million viewers.

    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Saturday, November 23, 2024

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."
