SEAL Team #7 – CBS’s Winning Streak

According to a Broadway World article, CBS placed first in viewers for the fourth consecutive week in a row. SEAL Team was in the top ten on broadcast dramas with ratings of 6.9 million viewers and a 1.0 for the Adults 18-49 ratings share. In addition to SEAL Team, CBS is able to be proud of The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, 9JFK, and Wisdom of the Crowd, that placed high in key demographics. This is important to CBS because other than bragging rights, it ensures that advertisers want to spend money on the company’s programs.

However, an issue that the program is facing is the failure to carry in viewers from Survivor, which had 8.12 million viewers and a 1.8. Because of the inability to capture viewers, the network lost 1.22 million viewers and a 0.8 for the Adults 18-49 ratings share. If CBS wants to continue making SEAL Team a winner, it must find a way to capture those viewers.
