FOX On Track to Win November Sweep

As the November sweep draws to a close, FOX is on track to win the sweep among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34 and Teens - a victory the network has only achieved once before in its history. Sweep to date, FOX is seeing significant growth (+10%) over November 2010 and is the only network to post year-over-year gains in the core adult demo.

In addition, FOX is averaging a 3.4 rating this fall and remains the No. 1 network among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34 and Teens, thanks to a strong and steady schedule across the week. So far this fall, FOX continues to post double-digit increases among both Adults 18-49 and Total Viewers and nine weeks into the season remains the only broadcast network to improve its performance versus last fall.
