[via press release from CBS]

MORE PEOPLE WATCH ALL OR PART OF CBS NEWS' ORIGINAL REPORTING THAN THE REPORTING FROM ANY OTHER BROADCAST NETWORK NEWS DIVISION IN AMERICA

An Estimated 111 Million People Watch All or Part of CBS News' Major Broadcasts Through First Six Weeks of 2015-2016 TV Season

More people have watched all or part of the original reporting featured on CBS News' major broadcasts through the first six weeks of the 2015-2016 television season than those from any other broadcast network news division in America, according to Nielsen's most current ratings. An estimated 111.2 million people have watched all or part of the Network's news programs, with an estimated 42.58 million of those viewers in the adults 25-54 demographic, which is desired most by those who advertise in news.

CBS News' cumulative audience for the season is more than 9 million viewers ahead of NBC and more than 19 million viewers more than ABC, according to Nielsen.

The Network's news strength also extends beyond the cumulative audience statistics. On a season-to-date basis with viewers, CBS News is home to the #1 news program in the country (60 MINUTES); the #1 Sunday morning news program (CBS SUNDAY MORNING WITH CHARLES OSGOOD); the #1 Sunday morning public affairs program (FACE THE NATION); the #1 Saturday night non-sports program (48 HOURS); the network evening news with the largest percentage of growth (CBS EVENING NEWS WITH SCOTT PELLEY); and the only network morning show to grow year-to-year (CBS THIS MORNING).

The broadcast delivered 7.25 million viewers (+9% from 6.67m last year) and a 1.4/06 (+8% from 1.3/05 last year). The broadcast closed the viewership gap with NBC by 760,000 viewers and with ABC by 200,000 viewers. Editor's Note: Ratings for the week ending Oct. 30 and the year-ago comparison represent a four-day average (Monday-Wednesday, Friday) as the broadcast aired under an amended title on Thursday due to THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. Season-to-date, the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH SCOTT PELLEY is posting the largest percentage viewership gains among the evening newscasts. The broadcast is delivering 6.89 million viewers (+6% from 6.49m last year) and a 1.3/06 with adults 25-54 (even from last year.)
