Which network will have the most viewers on Wednesday night?

Settled as CBS

While to no one’s surprise, CBS dominated the night from 9-11 and overall had the most average viewers and adults 18-49, Fox’s Secret Millionaire was the surprise of the night, winning both demos from 8-9 and improving its demos noticeably from last week when it faced off against Rudolph.

Background:

Wow!! What do you know. Last week it was CBS winning the demos, but NBC winning overall...a little bit of an early Christmas for NBC, as Christmas in Rockefeller Center averaged over 10 million viewers. That served to be a better lead-in for Life than Knight Rider usually is and Life climbed to a season high 8.1 million viewers. Still, even with the bump in viewers, the best it could do among 18-49 year olds was fourth place. Not a good sign.

So next week there's another Christmas lead in for Life, and every network has completely new shows - with 1 exception. Bones on Fox is a repeat.

Odds, as always, are skewed to last week's results. So wager away.
