Yes, if it is all news networks, then even Katie Couric beats Fox...

The big news in TV ratings last week was how few people bothered to watch the news — the three network evening newscasts, anyway.

Logging only 4.9 million viewers, the "CBS Evening News" slipped below 5 million for the first time on record. And ABC's "World News" had 6.4 million viewers — a drop of a half-million viewers from the week before, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Not helping matters: ABC's Charles Gibson and CBS' Katie Couric had the week off from their respective anchor desks.

Brian Williams was on duty at "NBC Nightly News," which won the week with a three-day average of 7.8 million viewers, down a half-million from the week before. (NBC's U.S. Open coverage led to pre-emptions Thursday and Friday.)
