Projected weekly network ratings in prime time (based on four days of official nationals and three days of fast nationals). NBC moved into a virtual first-place tie with FOX this past week, thanks to NBC News coverage of the Boston Bomber apprehension Friday night. For the week, NBC was up 19% over the same week last year and up 13% from the more typical spring week last week. With a lot of repeats and no sports specials such as March Madness or The Masters, CBS fell back below the 2 rating it has enjoyed the last several weeks. ABC remains way off the pace.
