For the week ending Sept. 29, the "CBS Evening News" telecast averaged 7.1 million viewers 18-plus--800,000 more than it did the same week last year, while NBC averaged 7.8 million viewers--1.1 million less than the same week last year, according to Nielsen Media Research data. ABC averaged 7.2 million viewers--700,000 fewer than last year.
