December - Channel Nine takes a new record as the network wins all 40 weeks of ratings.

The network, which used to attract an older audience, won the coveted 18-to-49 demographic for the first time since 1980.

The network won every week of the past television season.

A network need not do it every night - and couldn't - and may win only an hour here or there.

He considers it likely that the networks will win concessions on the syndication rules.

"People are betting that the networks will win this hearing," he said.

A different network won each hour of the primetime schedule on Wednesday.

So how much difference does it make which network wins a sweep?

Fox's "24" was the highest-rated show among adults 18 to 49 and helped the network win Monday night in that demographic.

The network also won the rights to other championship events for men and women.
