This Monday's ratings highlights:

• At 9 pm, CBS' NCAA basketball-championship coverage drew 16.84 mil, down 700K from '06's UCLA-Florida face-off. 24 (10.85 mil) was down a mil.

Wish PB had done better. Oh well. I watched DWTS and taped PB.

One thing that's been hurting Prison Break has been the 800 start. They also have higher viewership in the 830 portion of the hour, I guess with central time zone people joining it halfway through.
Also factor in the daylight savings time drop off for all shows, the NCAA tournament, Dancing with the Stars and the fact that it was a gorgeous day for much of the east coast...and you're gonna have decreased viewership.

DWTS has impacted PB's ratings. I'm sure a lot of people did as I did and watched DWTS and taped PB. Ratings don't factor in viewer recordings, I guess.
