‘CSI’ crossover story books rankings for CBS

A three-part “CSI” crossover story arc helped CBS become the most-watched network for the seventh time in the eight weeks of the fall television season, edging ABC, which drew its largest audience in more than a year.

With all three entries in “CSI” drawing substantially larger audiences than a week before, including a season high for “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” CBS averaged 11.47 million viewers for its prime-time programming from Nov. 9 through Sunday, according to live plus same-day figures released this week by the Nielsen Co.
