In a Week with Nearly Half its Schedule in Rebroadcasts, CBS is First in Viewers and Adults 25-54

An Original "The Good Wife" Tops Sunday in Viewers and All Weekly Cable Programs

CBS continued its post-Olympic winning streak, placing first in viewers for the seventh consecutive week and first in adults 25-54 for the fifth consecutive week, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for the holiday week ending April 20, Week 30 of the 2013-2014 television season.
