Even with CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory” claiming honors as the night’s top-rated show, Fox got enough out of its new singing competition “The X Factor” to take another overall win in the 18-49 demo, TVbytheNumbers.com reports.

Fox averaged a 3.9 rating for the night in adults 18-49, beating CBS (3.0 average), ABC (2.6) and NBC (2.1). CBS squeaked ahead in total viewers, averaging 12.3 million to 11.9 million for Fox, 8.4 million for ABC and 5.2 million for NBC. The numbers were still being adjusted, and direct comparisons may be inaccurate.
