'60 Minutes' wins again.

Broadcasting & Cable, August, 1998 by Schlosser, Joe

CBS's 60 Minutes placed first in house holds last week with an 11 .X rating/ 24 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. That gives it the household crown in eight of the last nine weeks. CBS is even now trying to determine the best time slot for a second night of the news magazine next season.

Fox's That '70s Show was the week's top-rated show among adults 18-49, the first time a Fox series has ever premiered to a weekly win in that demographic. The show debuted to a 7.1 rating/19 share in final Nielsen numbers, ranking number seven for the week among total households. The show for the first time also outperformed an original episode of its lead-in, The Simpsons, which had a 6.1 rating.
