The American Country Music Awards surged on CBS. Compared to last year, Fast National returns have the show jumping nearly 40 percent with a 4.3 rating with adults 18-49. That's up from last year's final return of a 3.1 in the demo. In total viewers, the show averaged 15.4 million, up 2.3 million from last year. At 7 p.m., 60 Minutes (1.4 adults) was down from last week's NCAA boosted broadcast by 1.1 points. The network averaged a 3.6 rating with adults 18-49 and 13.9 million viewers.
Almost three hours worth of repeats led into an original The Cleveland Show (1.6 adults) at a special time on Fox. The series was three tenths of a point from its last new episode three weeks ago. Fox averaged a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49 and 2.8 million viewers.
A new Celebrity Apprentice (1.4 adults) followed encores on NBC. The series was off a tenth of a point from the previous week, hitting a season low. NBC averaged a 1.2 rating with adults 18-49 and 3.7 million viewers.
