December 15, 2007 -- 'TODAY" made history this week by cementing 12 years of unbroken ratings dominance.

It's both a record for any morning show, and it also marks the current longest winning streak in broadcast TV. That's 626 weeks, since Dec. 11, 1995.

"Today's" margin of victory was the widest over ABC's second-place "Good Morning America" since March 26. "GMA" had 5.1 million viewers, and CBS' "The Early Show" averaged 3.1 million viewers.

Meanwhile, "Nightline" made history by beating both "The Tonight Show" and "Late Show" for the second week.

Both "Tonight" (Jay Leno) and "Late Show" (David Letterman) have been in repeats since the writers' strike began Nov. 5.

congrat's to the Today Show.

It's both a record for any morning show, and it also marks the current longest winning streak in broadcast TV. That's 626 weeks, since Dec. 11, 1995.

Once again, they claim that another show owns a record that a soap really has. "The Young and the Restless" has been #1 in soap ratings continuously since 1988. And even still, "As the World Turns" was #1 for twenty straight years (1958-1978).

When will these reporters learn to give actual credit where it is due?

and here i thought the Today show would suffer when katie left
