According to media writer Hal Boedeker at orlandosentinel.com, Sawyer and the ABC team posted a razor-thin win over Williams and NBC in the 25-to-54 age group, which is most important to news advertisers.
ABC won by just 38,000 viewers. ABC averaged 1.917 million viewers in the age group to NBC's 1.879 million. The "CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley" had 1.506 million in the age group.
