CBS.com Nearly Doubles Other Networks in Unique Viewers According to comScore Video Metrix
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2 - CBS.com today reported significant growth for the month of December, making it Number One among all broadcast network sites in unique viewers, according to comScore Video Metrix (December 2008).
Currently the fastest-growing network site, CBS.com posted 7.6 million unique viewers, up 181% year-over-year and up 55% month-over-month. The site currently ranks number two in video streams, with year-over-year growth of 45%. These numbers follow the recently reported Nielsen Online VideoCensus data for December where CBS also reported significant growth across all metrics.
