Fox dominates week's black viewing with 'Idol,' 'NAACP Image Awards'

Fox's nine shows easily made the week's most watched network with black households. CBS followed with six, while NBC made a better than usual showing by posting five shows. The CW claimed three and ABC had two.

The total number of black viewers for the top 25 shows was 37.0 million. That represents a drop of eight percent from the previous week's total.
