-Ratings Breakdown:
It was all about Fox last night, of course, with the San Francisco 49ers at the Seattle Seahawks on the NFC Championship at an estimated 20.9 rating/51 share in the household overnights (from 7-10 p.m.). Comparably, that was more than seven times the competition combined. Results for the season premiere of lead-out “The Following” were not available at present, however. And results for any live-action sporting event are always approximate, of course.

One year earlier, CBS scored a 28.5/43 in the overnights for the Baltimore Ravens at the New England Patriots on the AFC Championship.

Elsewhere, the pickings were slim. ABC aired a repeat of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (#2: 0.9/ 3 at 7 p.m.) into 8 p.m. special “The Bachelor: Bachelor Love Stories” (#2: 1.0/ 3) and original episodes of “Revenge” (#2: 1.4/ 3) and “Betrayal” (#3: 0.8/ 2) from 9-11 p.m. “Betrayal” was a series finale, and “Revenge” plummeted to a series low. Needless to say, ABC wasted original programming opposite football on NBC last night.

CBS populated the evening with repeats of “60 Minutes” (#2: 1.4/ 4), an 8 p.m. edition of “The Good Wife” (#4: 0.6/ 1) and “The Mentalist” (#4: 0.6/ 1) and “Criminal Minds” (#2: 1.0/ 3) from 9-11 p.m. And NBC ran a repeat of “Dateline” (#4: 0.6/ 2 at 7 p.m.) into 2011 theatrical “Bridesmaids,” with a 0.8/ 3 from 8-11 p.m.

About the Daily Ratings

Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.

The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).

Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.

Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above.

Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent Ratings FAQ.
