CBS received a major boost from the Grammy Awards, while "Dateline NBC" televised its own interview coup with Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who has accused President Clinton of sexual assault.

"Dateline" drew nearly 14 million viewers but finished well behind the Grammys. "ER" experienced only minor complications after Dr. Ross checked out, with the first post-George Clooney episode dropping 15 compared to the previous week's heavily promoted installment. BRIAN LOWRY NBC cemented victory in the February rating sweeps with Sunday's telecast of "Alice in Wonderland" and another strong showing from its Thursday lineup, based on results for last week issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. Although sweeps don't officially conclude until tonight, when ABC seems assured of a big audience for its Monica Lewinsky interview, NBC holds an insurmountable lead over second-place CBS thanks in part to the finishing kick from "Alice," its latest big-budget fantasy.

Starring Tina Majori-no, the three-hour production sank the premiere of Disney's "The Little Mermaid," coming through the looking glass with this season's highest National Nielsen Vlewership Cable Service Here are the rankings for national prime-time network television last week (Feb. 22-28) as compiled by Nielsen Media Research. They are based on the average number of people who watched a program from start to finish. Nielsen estimates that there are 256.6 million potential U.S. viewers age 2 and older.

Spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said ABC still hasn't ruled out subsequent legal action. In a statement, the network said it "deeply regrets that someone illegally obtained a portion of the unedited version" of the interview and gave it to the Daily News.

"Our editorial process has been compromised by the illegal and irresponsible actions of some unknown person. Every news organization has the right to determine whether to publish, when to publish and how much to publish of interviews or other information it has gathered. We will pursue all appropriate legal avenues to determine who was responsible for the theft and to ensure that appropri-ate action is taken." Daily News executives declined immediate comment. ABC told people in the industry that the high-quality tape was likely leaked by a disgruntled employee who is a member of the National Assn. of Broadcast Engineers and Technicians.

NABET and ABC have been locked in a several-month battle over a new contract, and last week the network went ahead and implemented the new contract, over NABET objections, after declaring negotiations at an impasse. A NABET spokeswoman said "the union had absolutely nothing to do with this." ABC's Murphy said the network "doesn't i want to point fingers at anyone," but she noted that only a small number of people have access to the material. I Last week, the Washington Post also printed a number of juicy mo-; ments from the interview, sup-i plied, the paper said, by someone I who had been in the room when the sit-down took place. ABC is counting on a large viewer turnout, which would give the net-. work a much-needed boost for the last day of the February sweeps pe-riod, in which ABC is running third.

After deciding to run the interview at a full two hours, ABC began ask-' ing advertisers for $750,000 to $800,000 per 30-second commercial, times its usual ad rate. Advertising industry executives said that DTS October Sky i news me inmneoune Rugrats (G); "Prince 01 Egypt by the respected interviewer Jon Snow. The remainder, according to people familiar with the situation, was an advance against whatever Channel Four could get through international sales, with Channel Four keeping 25 of those sales; with Lewinsky reaping 75, minus expenses. About 26 countries, from Australia to Turkey, have signed on. R.

Bernard Macleod, managing director of Channel Four International, declined to say how much his company would make, except to call it ''the deal of the century." He also declined to discuss the arrangements with Lewinsky. ABC says it agreed to the deal because it wouldn't have been able to get the interview otherwise. "They obviously need to make money," said Murphy, adding that the arrangement doesn't violate network standards and that ABC has made a similar concession in the past when it interviewed former mobster Sammy "The Bull" Gravano and the parents of septuplets. ABC also made a number of other arrangements that maximized revenue potential for Lewinsky. It agreed to a single airing of the interview, and it agreed to limit the promotional excerpts it would put on its own air.

Moreover, it agreed to give Channel Four two weeks' notice of when ABC planned to air its interview; without that notice, Channel Four could have renegotiated its own deal. Channel Four was allowed to schedule its own interview beginning one hour after ABC's. Both declined comment. To be sure, ABC's arrangement is very little compared to the other enticements reportedly thrown at Lewinsky, and other mainstream news organizations say they would agree to them, as well. Mainstream news organizations "are very mindful of the negative publicity about paying for news and are trying very hard to hold the line, and to the best of my knowledge, so far they have," says Marvin Kalb, director of Harvard's Shorenstein Center, which studies the press.

"When one examines all of the lapses of journalism in the Monica episode, this is the least of them." Barbara Walters' interview with Monica Lewinsky airs on "2020" from 9 toll tonight on ABC. STERLING CINEMA 2-909425-8888 while several sponsors signed on at very high prices, ABC was having more difficulty selling the remaining ads at that price. ABC declined to comment. At whatever price they paid, advertisers are taking a risk: Regular network programming is sold with a guarantee that the show will reach a certain number of people or the advertiser will get free makeup ads, but the Lewinsky interview has no guarantee. The trade paper the Myers Report said ABC was estimating for advertisers that the show would draw 45 of those households watching TV tonight; many advertisers are estimating that the program will fall far short of that figure.

In an era when tabloid news organizations routinely throw huge cash enticements at big interview prey, ABC News has boasted that the interview with Lewinsky was landed the old-fashioned way: ABC offered the most attractive forum and Lewinsky agreed. But without a number of unusual concessions, ABC wouldn't have gotten the interview, including the rights to the international distribution of the Lewinsky interview. Normally, ABC would sell the interview itself to news organizations worldwide, or it would have included the interview in packages of "2020" episodes it sells. Such ancillary rights have become so important in an era when networks are facing shrinking profit margins that ABC actually explored selling its Lewinsky interview internationally with a payment for the former White House intern built into the deal. But ABC ultimately backed away from it for economic reasons rather than journalistic concerns, said a person familiar with the situation.

For Lewinsky, however, the international rights were worth much, much more. According to people familiar with the situation, Lewinsky's handlers were seeking a total of $1 million from the sale of the international TV interview rights and she is expected to get it under the deal that was struck with Britain's Channel Four. The channel agreed to pay Lewinsky $660,000 upfront, of which more than half was for its own interview CINEMACAL CARRIAGE SQUARE -805485-6727 6 TrkDTS "October Sky" The Faculty (R); Virus (R) CINEMACAL CARRIAGE SQUARE -101 W.
