>The official nationals for Monday show that ABC came down three tenths of a rating point, to a 2.9 Adult 18-49 rating for the evening, and NBC dropped two tenths of a rating point to a 1.2 rating.  Both adjustments are due to the local broadcast coverage of ESPN’s Monday Night Football game between the Packers and Vikings.

Speaking of ESPN, Monday Night Football scored a 5.7 Adult 18-49 rating, a decent rating considering the last three MNF telecasts (6.9, 4.7, 3.3 rating).   

Dancing with the Stars dropped two tenths to a 3.2, and 20/20 with Rep. Gabby Giffords tumbled four tenths to a 2.4 rating.  On NBC, The Sing-Off fell two tenths to a season low 1.3 rating, while Rock Center dropped two tenths to a 1.1 rating (a season best but only by one tenth of a rating point).  Updated sweep numbers and broadcast network program tracks follow.
