Strike Nips Awards Show
30634
The two-month-old writers strike took a significant toll on the âPeopleâs Choice Awardsâ on Tuesday as the taped, scaled-down version of the awards show on CBS lost nearly half its audience compared with a year ago, attracting just 6 million viewers from 9 to 11 p.m., Nielsen reported. A year ago, the showâs live broadcast averaged 11.3 million. For the night, CBS ranked third overall, trailing second-place Fox with its all-repeat lineup. NBC finished first, leading every hour of the night among adults 18 to 49 with a two-hour episode of âThe Biggest Loserâ (10.2 million), followed by âLaw & Order: Special Victims Unitâ at 10 (15.2 million). CW delivered its best Tuesday ratings since March thanks to âOne Tree Hill,â which averaged 3.5 million viewers from 8 to 10 in its fifth-season debut. ABC trailed CW in last place among adults 18 to 49.
