- The State of the Union Address pre-empted the big four broadcasters from 9-11pm. These numbers won't count in finals, but there was surprising parity among the big four preliminaries: NBC (1.4), CBS (1.3), ABC (1.1) and Fox (1.0). The total State of the Union audience across broadcast and cable was 33.3 million, barely down from last year's 33.5 million.
- As usual, the CW was able to benefit in the 9/8c hour opposite four networks simulcasting one event; Supernatural (1.2) tied the season high set on premiere night.
