The week’s most-watched prime-time cable program was the TNT crime drama “Rizzoli & Isles,” which averaged 5.43 million viewers, putting it 17th among the week’s prime-time broadcast and cable programs.

TNT was the week’s most-watched cable network for the second consecutive week, averaging 2.01 million viewers. It also had the week’s second most-watched prime-time cable program, the drama “Major Crimes”.

The week’s most-watched Spanish-language prime-time program was Wednesday episode of the Univision telenovela “Lo Que La Vida Me Robo,” which averaged 4.27 million viewers, for 34th among all prime-time broadcast programs.

As usual, Univision was the most-watched Spanish-language network, averaging 2.7 million viewers. Telemundo was second with 1.49 million, followed by UniMas (620,000), Estrella TV (150,000), MundoFox (80,000) and Azteca America (40,000).

The “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams” was the most-watched network nightly newscast for the 251st consecutive week and 298th of the past 299, but its margin over ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer” was the smallest since the week of Sept. 24-28, 2012.

NBC’s newscast averaged 7.51 million viewers to 7.44 million for ABC’s, followed in third place by
