TALLAHASSEE , FL - NBC has crushed the competition by being the highest rated television network for the new season. Most of their viewers are between the ages of 18-49 years old. NBC has held the number one spot for three weeks, and hopes to continue the momentum in the fourth week. Executives for the network said that they thought they would do well for this new season.
“We were pretty sure we would do better, and had laid the groundwork and had the strategy to do better,” said Stephen B. Burke, the NBC chief executive.

NBC increased their numbers by 15 percent, while other networks such as ABC, FOX and CBS went down. In fact, CBS went down 24 percent after Charlie Sheen left the hit show “Two and a Half Men.”
With hit shows like "The Voice," "Revolution" and "The New Norm" it shouldn't come as as a surprise as to why advertisers are spending more money on NBC.
“NBC is probably number one because they have a lot of Emmy award winning sitcoms,” said Benjamin Criswell, a student at Florida A&M University. “Sunday night football is a big deal because it’s the heart of football season and they usually schedule the best games of the week.”
