CBS's Global Hit Series Receives International TV Audience Award at Monte-Carlo Television Festival

MONTE-CARLO, Monaco - June 11, 2014 - NCIS, the #1 drama on U.S. television for five consecutive seasons*, is now the most-watched drama in the world. On June 11, 2014, CBS's global hit series received the prestigious International Television Audience Award for a Drama TV Series at the 54th Monte-Carlo Television Festival. NCIS is distributed worldwide by CBS Studios International.

The annual International Audience Award is presented jointly by the Monte-Carlo Television Festival and Eurodata TV Worldwide to reward programs who delivered the highest ratings** worldwide in 2013 across five continents in three categories: Drama TV Series, Comedy TV Series and Telenovelas/Soap Operas.

NCIS star and Executive Producer Mark Harmon and Executive Producer Gary Glasberg commented, "As NCIS enters its 12th season, we couldn't be happier to learn we're now the #1 drama in the world. It's no secret that determination and teamwork have allowed our cast and crew to continue to deliver a show we're truly proud of. We also know we wouldn't be here without the support and loyalty of the best fans in television. Thanks to our worldwide audience for helping us start the new season off right."
