Posted by Joseph Lee on 02.13.2013
Down from last year...
The president's State of the Union address didn't get as big of an audience as last year's speech. Last night in general was soft, with all other networks airing reruns except for ABC's The Taste, which was down from last week.
CBS won with 6.9 million viewers and a 4.5 rating/7 share in households. It was followed by NBC (5.3 million, 3.4/5), ABC (4.4 million, 2.9/4), FOX (2.35 million, 1.5/2) ad The CW (1.5 million, 1.0/2).
In the adults 18-49 demographic, NBC won with a 1.4 rating, followed by ABC (1.3), CBS (1.2), FOX (0.9) and The CW (0.5).
