Palau Starts Off Strong in TV Ratings

Los Angeles (excerpted from Hollywood Reporter)
"Survivor: Palau" delivered the best performance for a "Survivor" premiere in more than three years and helped give CBS its most-watched Thursday since at least 1987.

"Survivor: Palau," the 10th incarnation of CBS' golden reality franchise, got things off to a strong start at 8 p.m. with an average of 23.7 million viewers and a 9.1 rating/23 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to Nielsen Media Research. That marked the best opening salvo for a "Survivor" since the October 2001 debut of "Survivor: Africa."
