FOX Feeling Super on Sunday
(Monday, February 07 08:00 AM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Although an accurate representation of the ratings for Super Bowl XXXIX won't be available until mid-day on Monday, FOX can at least feel comfortable in asserting that thanks to the Patriots and their win over the Eagles, the network won Sunday night by a large margin.

Overall, FOX averaged a preliminary 34.0 rating/51 share, demolishing the 4.4/7 averaged by both CBS and ABC and the 4.2/6 for NBC. The WB could have aired pure static and still gotten a 0.9/1.

FOX's early 18-49 ratings were also far ahead of the field, doing a 27.9 rating in the demographic that makes advertisers write home. ABC was a respectable second with a 2.5 rating, followed by the 1.5 for NBC and the 1.4 rating for CBS. The WB was last with a 0.9/1.

The evening sweep for FOX began in the 7 p.m. hour with the 38.8/59 for the Philadelphia/New England matchup. A CBS special on child prodigies was second with a 3.3/5. "Dateline NBC" was third with a 3.1/5. ABC was fourth with "America's Funniest Home Videos." On The WB, an encore of "Summerland" had a 0.8/1.

The second primetime hour of FOX's Super Bowl XXXIX coverage did a 36.7/54 for FOX. CBS stayed second with the 4.0/6 for "NCIS." NBC was third with "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," again nipping ABC's "Funniest Home Videos." The WB's second "Summerland" repeat improved to a 1.1/2.

In the 9 p.m. hour, FOX's football coverage did a 36.2/52. CBS remained second with the 5.0/7 for "Cold Case." ABC moved up to third with the 4.9/7 for "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." NBC's "Law & Order" episode was fourth, still nearly five times better than a third repeat of "Summerland" on The WB.

FOX closed the night with a 24.1/38 for the end of the football game and the beginning of a special episode of "The Simpsons." ABC's "Desperate Housewives" delivered the evening's best non-football ratings with a 6.2/10. NBC was third with the 5.5/9 for "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." CBS trailed with "Without a Trace."

Final ratings for the Super Bowl will be available on Zap2it later in the day, so check back often.
