TV ratings: New '60 Minutes' leads re-run heavy Sunday

Fast national ratings for Sunday, June 25, 2012

A two-hour block of "America's Got Talent" re-runs would have led a Sunday (June 24), if it weren't for a fresh "60 Minutes" which crushed the 7 p.m. hour with it's profile of tennis player Novak Djokovic and an interview with philanthropist (and rich guy son) Howard Buffett.

The show handily beat the evening's stale offerings, including "Exteme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition" and the second running of FOX's "25th Anniversary" special.

CBS finished with 5.7 million viewers (3.8/7) followed by NBC (4.6 million, 2.9/5), ABC (3.4 million, 2.1/4) and FOX (2 million, 1.3/2).

NBC won the adults 18-49 demographic with a 1.2, followed by ABC (1.0) and a tie for third between CBS and FOX, both with 0.8.
