NBC ties
CBS record
for ratings
By KATHRYN BAKER
AF TUrnOM Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — NBC has
tied CBS’ 26-year record of 46
weeks at the top erf the A.C.
Nielsen Co. television ratings, and
says it expects to keep the streak
going at least until the National
Basketball Association finals.
“The next hurdle is when CBS
has two games of the NBA finals,"
said Gerald Jaffe, NBC vice presi-
dent for research projects.
“If we hurdle that, and I’m not
saying we will, 1 can’t see anything
(to stop NBC) until next season."
* The NBA finals broke NBC’s
streak last June before it started
building to the 46-week mark.
NBC won last week with an
•average, prime-tune rating of 13.7
to CBS ’ 12.4. and ABC’s 11.7.
ABC's seemingly never-ending
miniseries “War and Remembran-
ce" began anew with the final 11 Vi
hours, but viewers weren’t very
impressed. The first installment of
the final five chapters in the 39Vi-
hour sequel to "The Winds of War"
began Sunday with a 13.4 rating
and 21 share. NBC won the movie
battle Sunday with “Witness,”
which ranked 10th.
Each rating point equals 904,000
households with television. The
share is a percentage of sets in use.
Tuesday’s conclusion of CBS’
two-part “Guts A Glory: The Rise
and Fall of Oliver North” didn't stir
viewers and ranked 58th.
