ABC averaged a 12.3 rating to CBS’ 12.2, both earning a 21 per cent share of the audience. NBC was a distant third, with a 9.2 rating, 16 share. Fox, which programs only 1 5 of the 22 prime time hours, had a 6.5 rating, 1 1 share. One rating point equals 942,000 homes, or 1 percent of the 94.2 million U.S. TV households estimat ed by Nielsen Media Research.
