>With no postseason baseball last night and an inferior Monday Night Football game (the NY Jets beating the winless Miami Dolphins handily), network ratings levels rebounded for the most part.  CBS won the night with a 4.0 (up 0.1 from last week).   The big gainer for CBS was Hawaii Five-O, up 0.4 to a 3.1 […]

ABC: The high point for the ratings evening was the overrun from the […]
