The Sked: SEASON TO DATE NETWORK AVERAGES

Five weeks into the 2011-12 season, FOX has taken the lead with a 3.0 Adult 18-49 rating in primetime.  Even though the World Series is at low levels compared to past Series, baseball still provides numbers each night higher than the network weekly average.  CBS is second with a 2.85 (CBS was hurt this week by not having the late afternoon national NFL game that pumps up their Sunday performance), while ABC is in third with a 2.4 and NBC is in fourth place with a 2.3 (and that number includes Sunday Night Football).  The CW is averaging a 0.75 rating season to date.
