The network finished fourth in the ratings for the week ending Sunday, behind even ABC, which Fox routinely beat during the winter months.

Fox came in third among viewers aged 18 to 49, the demographic it most cares about. Paris Hilton and Nicole Simple Life which finished just out of Nielsen Media Top 10 last week with 9.3 million viewers, is summer highlight, coming in No.1 among viewers 18 to 49. None of five other new shows are doing well, including from usually reliable reality producer Mark Burnett. Perhaps most disappointing is a soap about young workers at a luxury hotel in Hawaii. It drew just 4.4 million viewers last week.

Fox was hoping to catch attention in the summer, saying it was no longer a time it would subject viewers to a steady diet of reruns. While the numbers are small, Fox is taking some solace in the fact that not dropping much week to week. Otherwise, viewers enjoyed the American Film salute to Hollywood music. The CBS special was the No. 3 show, with 12.3 million viewers.

CBS won the week, averaging 8.8 million viewers, focusing on a diet of repeats. NBC was second with 7.2 million viewers (and won among the 18-49 demographic). ABC averaged 5 million viewers, Fox had 4.8 million, UPN 2.4 million and the WB 2.3 million.

Celebrating the Academy Awards, the Emmys, these are unique live Opening the corporate wallet for Rivers and Rivers is just part of a major restructuring at a company that has been hit on two sides. TV Guide has lost readers as the proliferation of channels made it impossible for the magazine to publish comprehensive TV listings asit once did. And the channel, which began life as the Prevuechannel, has seen its on-air program guidance undercut by TiVo and other digital services, which offer guides that negotiate the program grid and record shows at the touch of afew buttons.

Aaron points to CNN and Headline News as examples, with news crawls, pop-ups and a live video window. The Olympic deal and others promised in the near future notwithstanding, the hiring of the Rivers team is getting all the attention. Their first big splash will be the red carpet arrivals show on Emmy Awards night (Sept. 19). But even before then, Melissa Rivers will start turning up on TV Guide Channel programs possibly including the flagship show and be developing and producing new shows.
