With the help of solid hits such as American Idol, The Super Bowl, and House, FOX has won the ratings battle for the TV season, which just concluded.

This is the first time the network has won the season in it's 21 year career. CBS had the title last year but came in second in this 2007-08 season, with an average of 10.5 million viewers. ABC was third with 10 million viewers. NBC was fourth 8.9 million viewers. The CW only had an average of 2.9 million viewers, which I think is less than the number of page views my nephew gets on his MySpace page every month.

Every single network was down in viewers this year (ABC -7%, NBC -9%, CBS -16%, and The CW -19%) except FOX, which was actually up 7% from last season. They average 11.1 million viewers. CBS just won the May sweeps period in total viewers, but even there FOX beat them in the 18 to 49 demographic.
