Based on the metered markets, ABC remained on the forefront on Dec. 31 with Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve at an average 8.5 rating/20 share from 11:30 p.m.-1:15 a.m. But, comparably, that was its lowest overnight average since 2004 (off three percent from one year earlier). Next was New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly on NBC at a 5.0/11 – up two percent from 2007. And last, and very least, was New Year’s Eve Live on Fox at a 3.4/ 7.
