Twitter
Fast National ratings for Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010It appears that even when all the biggest country music stars align, they're still no match for the "Big Brother 12" house or the "America's Got Talent" contestants. The Country Music Association's Music Festival, which featured artists like Reba McIntyre and Miranda Lambert, couldn't quite match the numbers of the reality competition shows.
NBC led the night overall with 7.5 million viewers and a 4.7 rating/8 share in households. CBS drew 6.6 million people and a 4.3/7 for second, and ABC bumped FOX out of third place with 6 million viewers and 3.7/6. FOX (4.7 million, 2.9/5) and The CW (1.1 million, 0.8/1) trailed.
CBS and FOX both did well with the target demographic, scoring 2.0 ratings. NBC received a second at 1.9, ahead of ABC's 1.7. The CW was at 0.4

I can't wait until the Brigade realizes that Lane is going to double cross them and take Brittany all the way. Brilliant! My vote is still for the **** ****!
What a sad statement about America's mentality
Any barnyard animal (Lane included) knows you want Britney with you at the end cause the ***** has no votes in JH
I never watch the Networks in the summer, too busy watching TNT, USA, SyFy, AMC, FX and some of the other true Cable stations. At least they have scripted shows on. My version of HELL would be having to watch unscripted TV until Eternity!!!
If preta would stop blocking my name, then maybe when u type Enzo' name you'd see it. Haha porr thin lol. Such a divet dat preta miss thang. Now off to Yogurt.
Its not Preta today M EOW, its miss copy and paste carina!
Good point, Donna (as usual)! But the M EOW to **** thing was desined, kreated, and instrumentationed by Preta, the head of the snake.
i'm just glad Big Brother beat the CMA's. which btw, weren't the CMA's ratings quite a bit higher last year? it would be nice if the author of this article could've included that point of fact as some reference.
****/Donna/Pierre/Britney...you tramp, you're back again? Time for the administrators to bounce you like a bad superball once again, you douchebag! You're like a cockroach...u try stomping on it but still keeps coming back!!!
PS, You deserve to be blocked!!!
You misspelled Reba's last name, it's McEntire.
